The Command Bar is Floutwork’s keyboard-driven control center. Press a single shortcut and a search-and-action palette appears over your current workspace. From there you can navigate anywhere in Floutwork, launch apps, search your content, and run common actions — all without moving your hand to the mouse. If you’ve used Spotlight on macOS or the command palette in VS Code or Notion, the Command Bar will feel immediately familiar.

Opening the Command Bar

Press Cmd+K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (Windows / Linux) from anywhere in Floutwork to open the Command Bar. Press Esc to dismiss it without taking any action.
The Command Bar keyboard shortcut works regardless of which workspace, app, or panel you’re currently focused on. You don’t need to click away first.

What you can do from the Command Bar

Search notes, tasks, and bookmarks

Start typing to search across all of your Floutwork content at once. Results appear instantly as you type, grouped by type: notes, tasks, and bookmarks each have their own section. Select a result and press Enter to open it.

Launch apps from the Launchpad

Type the name of any app pinned to your Launchpad — “Slack”, “Figma”, “Jira”, and so on — and select it to open it in your current workspace. This is the fastest way to open an app when your hands are already on the keyboard.

Switch workspaces

Type the name of any workspace or search for “switch” to see a list of your workspaces. Select one to switch to it instantly — the same as clicking its name in the sidebar, but without reaching for the mouse. The Command Bar also surfaces navigation commands for every area of Floutwork: open Notes, go to Tasks, open AI Hub, toggle Split View, start a Pomodoro timer, and more. Browse all available commands by opening the Command Bar and scrolling without typing anything.

Command Bar reference

Type an app name to find it in your Launchpad. Press Enter to open it in the current workspace, or Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter to open it in a new Split View pane.
Type a workspace name or the word “workspace” to list your workspaces. Select one to switch to it.
Browse built-in commands for toggling Split View, opening AI Hub, starting the Pomodoro timer, entering full-screen mode, and other common actions.
Power users can run almost every Floutwork action without touching the mouse. Open the Command Bar, type what you want, and press Enter. The more you use it, the less you’ll reach for the trackpad.
