Command Palette & Search

The command palette is a platform-wide search and navigation tool. Open it from anywhere in the application to instantly jump to incidents, people, groups, files, and more — without navigating through menus.

Opening the Command Palette

Method	Action
Keyboard shortcut	⌘ / (Mac) or Ctrl / (Windows / Linux)
Slash key	Press / anywhere in the app when not focused on a text input
Search icon	Click the 🔍 search icon in the top navigation bar

What You Can Search

The command palette searches across multiple resource types simultaneously:

Resource	What is searched
Incidents	Incident title
Persons	Person name and callsign
Groups	Group name and callsign
Project files	File name
Users	User name and email

Search is powered by Meilisearch — it is fast, typo-tolerant, and returns results as you type.

Using the Results

1. Open the command palette.
2. Start typing. Results appear immediately below the input.
3. Use ↑ / ↓ arrow keys to navigate results.
4. Press Enter or click a result to jump to the item.
5. Press Escape to close the palette without navigating.

Smart person & group navigation

When you search for a person or group:

• If they are linked to exactly one incident, the app jumps directly to that incident view.
• If they are linked to multiple incidents or none, the app takes you to the persons or groups page instead.

Tips

• Quick-create an incident — press / then immediately hit Enter (without typing anything else) to open the new incident form.
• Partial matches work — typing med finds Medical Unit, Medical Tent, Medic 3, etc.
• Typos are tolerated — insidnet still finds Incident.
• Jump to a person — useful during live operations when you need a person's Pushover or status at speed.
• Find a file — faster than scrolling the File Manager list.
• The palette only searches within your active project for incident/people/file resources.
