The Command Palette is your fastest way to navigate, search, and take action in Ankra. Press ⌘+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) to open it from anywhere.

​
What is the Command Palette?

The Command Palette is a powerful keyboard-first interface that lets you:
  • Navigate Instantly: Jump to any page, cluster, or resource without clicking through menus
  • Search Everything: Find clusters, pods, charts, and credentials by name
  • Execute Commands: Toggle sidebar, open AI chat, manage settings, and more
  • Access Shortcuts: Quickly reach frequently used features

Using the Command Palette

1

Open the Palette

Press ⌘+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) from anywhere in Ankra.
2

Type Your Search

Start typing to filter commands and pages. The palette uses fuzzy matching, so you don’t need exact names.
3

Navigate Results

Use ↑ and ↓ arrow keys to move through results.
4

Execute

Press Enter to navigate to the selected page or execute the command.
5

Close

Press Escape to close the palette without taking action.

​
Tips & Tricks

Fuzzy Search: You don’t need exact matches. Type “dep” to find “Deployments” or “sts” for “StatefulSets”.
Recent Actions: The palette remembers your most-used commands and shows them at the top.
Keyboard Flow: Combine with other shortcuts-open the palette, navigate to a cluster, then use it again to jump to resources.
Quick Context Switch: Use the palette to quickly switch between clusters without navigating back to the cluster list.
