Can we all agree that keyboard shortcuts have become indispensable to the experience of using a computer? Just think about where the world would be without copy/paste! We may not think about them much, but these combinations of keystrokes have helped millions of people make their daily—even hourly—workflows faster and more efficient.
WordPress already utilizes a number of incredibly handy keyboard shortcuts:
- When you're in an individual post or page, typing "/" allows you to quickly search for and insert any of our blocks or patterns.
- "Shift+Command+/" brings you right into distraction free mode (one of our favorites around here).
- "Ctrl+Option+O" toggles the list view/outline pane, allowing you to quickly see your blocks at a glance and rearrange them easily if needed.
And now, with the brand Command Palette tool, yet another piece has been added to the ever-growing kit of convenient, time-saving keyboard shortcuts.
We think it's pretty darn cool, so in this short post we'll walk you through where and how to use it.
Diving deeper
The Command Palette is available across the editing experience, whether you're switching between templates in the Site Editor or toggling through settings in a post/page, with specific contextual options depending on where you are. While in editing or writing mode, simply hit Command+K (Mac) or Control+K (PC). This will bring up a handy little search box with the instructions: "Type a command or search."
Type "new" to bring up quick actions for adding a new post or page. Enter the name of a specific post or page on your site to quickly navigate exactly where you want ("About page," for example). Or access a template in a flash by typing "Header," "Footer," "Home," etc.
