Shortcuts

The command center is the workspace launcher that follows you through the app. The three main surfaces still carry the work, but the command center is how you jump between them, search the objects you can access, and run small actions without first finding the owning page.

Search starts from the app shell

Open the command center from the shell search control or with Cmd+F on macOS and Ctrl+F elsewhere. An empty search keeps the operating loop close: start a chat, create a task, open the Inbox or Tasks, find shared context in the Library, or design a playbook with an agent.

Member administration and workspace settings stay searchable without crowding these quick actions. Once you type, the panel becomes a ranked result list and keeps the latest search responsive while it checks the parts of the workspace you can access. If a refresh of open results cannot reach the workspace, the list keeps what it last showed and adds a short notice that search is temporarily unavailable. The next successful search replaces the notice.

Results stay inside your workspace role

Command center search stays within the current Workspace and your role's access. Searchable results include:

• People, Agent profiles, and Teams.
• Chats, Tasks, labels, Projects, and Goals.
• Documents and Skills.
• Budgets and Workers.
• Workflows, Workflow playbooks, Runs, and their linked questions and approvals.
• Metrics, found by name.
• Catalog Playbooks to set up, shown as Set up results when you can set up Playbooks.

Tasks match their readable identifiers, such as FEE-66, as well as their titles and details. Exact identifiers take the shortest search path, while broader searches rank exact names ahead of general text matches. If your role cannot read a record or use an action, that result or action is hidden from the list. The Archived, Scheduled, Recurring, and Proposed Task destinations are listed only once they hold work you can see, the same as their tabs on Tasks.

This permission filtering is a usability layer, not the security boundary. Opening a destination or submitting an action still goes back through the domain that owns the change, so a hidden button is never the only thing protecting the operation.

Actions keep their owning context

A result opens the place that owns the work:

• A Task opens its detail page.
• A Workflow opens its builder.
• A Metric opens its page.
• A Workflow Run opens its backing Task.
• A Playbook setup opens a Chat for setting up that Playbook, with its card and an editable starter request. Choosing the same Playbook again before you send anything reopens that Chat.

On the Task, Activity shows current execution and steering context. Runs keeps the complete execution history.

Other results open the action directly in a modal. You can start a Workflow, create a Task, or answer a Workflow question without first navigating to another page.

Workflow operations use the same rule. A workflow playbook can be duplicated into a draft from search when you can manage workflows. A running workflow can be cancelled from search when you can run workflows. A workflow-linked question can be answered from search when you can update tasks.

A workflow approval can be approved or rejected from search when the approval domain says you can decide it. Each action updates the same records that the Inbox and task activity trail use, so the command center is a shortcut into the existing control loop, not a separate workflow.

Keyboard shortcuts take you to the surfaces

Press ? to see the shortcuts that work where you are. A small tooltip with its keys appears beside every control that has a shortcut: Search, Create task, each sidebar destination, and the buttons of an open Inbox item. Press ? again, Esc, any other key, or click anywhere to hide them. Nothing shows on hover, and there is no separate shortcuts list. Touch screens have no keyboard and never show the tooltips.

To go to a surface, press G and then the first letter of its name: G then C for Chats, G then I for Inbox, G then T for Tasks, G then L for Library, and G then P for Pulse. C opens Create task on every page when you may create Tasks, and its tooltip shows beside the sidebar's Create task entry.

Shortcuts stay out of your way. They never fire while you type or with Ctrl, Alt or Cmd held, and the page shortcuts pause while a dialog or panel is open, so your browser and operating system keep their own shortcuts. ? is always ours, so Firefox never opens its page search. The one exception to the pause is an open Inbox item, which has its own decision keys. With the sidebar collapsed, hover a destination to see its shortcut in the tooltip.

From here, see Inbox for the attention queue the command center can act on, Tasks for the papertrail most results open, and Workflow execution for how runs record their progress.
