Search and keyboard shortcuts

The command palette is the fastest way around 53 Degrees. From one search box you can find any contact, deal, project or task, jump to any page, create something new and act on what you find.

Open the command palette

Press ⌘K on Mac, or Ctrl+K on Windows. It works from anywhere, even while you're typing. You can also select Search in the header.

Before you type, the palette shows your Pinned items, Recent items, and quick commands grouped under Create, Go to, Appearance, Organisation, Account and Workspace.

Search everything

1. Start typing. Results appear grouped by area: contacts, projects, tasks, deals, docs, files, proposals, chat and your team.

2. Use ↑ and ↓ to move, then press ↵ to open a result.

Below the results, under Create, you can make a New task, New project, New contact or New deal named after what you typed. The form opens right there in the palette, so check the details before you save.

Search in one area

Start your search with a bang (!) to look in one area only and see more results:

Type the bang and a space, or press Tab to accept the suggestion. The area shows as a label in the search box. Press ⌫ at the start of the box to remove it. You'll also find every area under Search in when the palette opens.

Run a command

Type @ to search only commands, such as @notepad. Commands include:

• New task, New project, New contact and New deal
• Go to any area, plus Project templates, Proposal templates, Import contacts and Contact duplicates
• Theme: light, Theme: dark and Theme: match system
• Organisation: and Account: commands that open each settings page
• Planner: today, Notepad, Toggle the actions sidebar, Keyboard shortcuts and Sign out

You only see the commands your role allows.

Act on a result

Highlight a result and press → to see what you can do with it, such as Open, Copy link, Change stage, Change status or Pin. Press ← to go back. Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl+↵ on Windows) to run a result's main action straight away. For a task, that's completing it.

Pin your favourites

Highlight a result or command, press →, then choose Pin. It appears under Pinned every time you open the palette. You can pin up to 5 items in each organisation. The Notepad is pinned for you to start with.

Keyboard shortcuts

For the full list at any time, run the Keyboard shortcuts command in the palette.

Good to know

• Bangs and @ only work at the start of the search. Searching for Q4 !important looks for those words.
• Esc steps back one level at a time, and closes the palette once there's nothing left to step back from.
• Pins are saved to your account. Recent items and searches are kept in your browser only.
