Command Center & Navigation
Find anything instantly with the command palette, switch views, and navigate your workspace with the keyboard.
Command Palette
The command palette is the fastest way to reach anything in AgentsInFlow. Press Cmd+K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to open it. A floating search field appears at the top of the window, ready for input.
Start typing to search across tickets, files, and projects simultaneously. Results appear in real time, ranked by relevance score. Each result row shows:
- A type icon (ticket, file, or project)
- The matched title with highlighted query terms
- A project context pill showing which project the result belongs to
- A relevance score for ranking transparency
Search Modes
By default, the palette searches everything. Use prefix tokens to narrow results to a specific type:
| Prefix | Mode | Searches |
|---|---|---|
(none) | Combined | Tickets, files, and projects |
# | Tickets | Ticket titles and descriptions |
/ | Files | File paths in the project repository |
@ | Projects | Project names across the workspace |
Filters
Below the search field, toggle buttons let you include or exclude result types. Click a filter pill to toggle it on or off. Active filters glow with the accent colour; inactive ones appear dimmed.
Keyboard Selection
Navigate the results list entirely with the keyboard:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
Arrow Up / Down | Move focus through results |
Enter | Open the focused result |
Escape | Close the palette |
Tab | Cycle through filter toggles |
View Modes
The left sidebar exposes five distinct view modes. Each mode reshapes the main content area while keeping the rest of the chrome intact. Click a sidebar icon or use the keyboard shortcut to switch.
| Mode | Shortcut | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace | Cmd+1 | Project explorer and file tree for browsing the repository |
| Kanban | Cmd+2 | Ticket board with columns for each status. See Work Management |
| Dashboard | Cmd+3 | Widgets showing execution metrics, token usage, and project health |
| Terminal | Cmd+4 | Integrated terminal sessions. See Terminal |
| Git | Cmd+5 | Branch graph, diffs, and commit history. See Git Version Control |
On Windows, replace Cmd with Ctrl for all shortcuts on this page.
View Mode Persistence
AgentsInFlow remembers your last active view mode per project. When you switch between projects, the app restores the view mode you were using when you last had that project open. This also persists across application restarts.
Scroll position and panel sizes within each view mode are also preserved per project, so you return to exactly where you left off.
Quick Switcher
The quick switcher lets you jump between recently opened tickets and views without touching the mouse. Press Cmd+P to open it.
Unlike the command palette, the quick switcher shows your recent history by default (no typing required). Items are ordered by last-accessed time. Start typing to filter the list.
Hold Cmd and press P repeatedly to cycle through recent items. Release Cmd to open the selected item.
Navigation Shortcuts
Beyond the command palette and view-mode shortcuts, these keys help you move through the interface quickly:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Cmd+K | Open command palette |
Cmd+P | Open quick switcher |
Cmd+G | Quick capture a new ticket |
Cmd+[ | Navigate back |
Cmd+] | Navigate forward |
Cmd+W | Close current tab |
Cmd+Shift+T | Reopen last closed tab |
For the full shortcut reference, see Keyboard Shortcuts.
Tab Management
When you open a ticket, execution, or file it appears as a tab in the tab bar above the main content area. Tabs let you keep multiple items open and switch between them without losing context.
Click a tab to switch to it, or use Cmd+Shift+[ and Cmd+Shift+] to move left and right.
Close a tab with the X button or Cmd+W.
Right-click a tab for context actions: close others, close tabs to the right, or copy the item link.
Drag tabs to reorder them. The order persists across sessions.
Tabs are scoped to the current project. Switching projects replaces the tab bar with that project's open tabs.
Breadcrumbs
A breadcrumb trail appears below the tab bar, showing the path from the current project to the active item. Each segment is clickable, so you can jump back to any parent level without using the back button.
Breadcrumb structure depends on where you are:
| Context | Trail |
|---|---|
| Ticket detail | Project › Kanban › Ticket Title |
| Execution view | Project › Kanban › Ticket › Execution #N |
| File editor | Project › Workspace › path/to/file.ts |
| Dashboard widget | Project › Dashboard |
