Command Palette

The Command Palette gives you keyboard access to every command in Zentro — without navigating menus.

Opening the Palette

Press Ctrl+Shift+P. A search box appears at the top of the screen. Start typing.

What You Can Do

Type any part of a command name:

> connect          → Connect to database, Reconnect, Disconnect
> new tab          → New Editor Tab, New Script
> format           → Format SQL, Format as JSON
> export           → Export as CSV, Export as JSON
> schema           → Refresh Schema, Open Schema Explorer
> dark             → Toggle Dark Mode
> focus            → Enter Focus Mode
> lock             → Lock App
> audit            → Open Audit Log

Prefix Shortcuts

The palette supports prefixes to narrow the search scope:

Examples

@analytics_db      → open the "analytics_db" bookmark
#SELECT * FROM ord  → find scripts with that SQL fragment
? erd              → open ERD Visualization docs

Navigating Results

Recent Commands

The palette opens with a list of recently used commands. Press Enter immediately to re-run the last command.

Tips

• You don't need to type exact words — conn db finds "Connect to database"
• The palette works from any panel; you don't need to click the editor first
• Combine Ctrl+Shift+P with Esc for instant navigation without touching the mouse
