# Command Bar: keyboard-driven navigation in Floutwork

> Open the Command Bar to search notes, tasks, and bookmarks, launch apps, or switch workspaces — all from your keyboard without touching the mouse.

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.

<Info>
  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.

### Navigate Floutwork quickly

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.
