Command Palette

A fast, keyboard-first way to jump anywhere. Open it with Cmd/Ctrl + K.

What it searches

The search box hint reads "Jump to a request, history entry, environment, or theme…". Type to fuzzy-match across:

  • Saved requests (from Collections) — the subtitle shows the folder path; selecting one opens it in a tab. These now also match on the request's HTTP method and URL, not just its name and folder path — so typing POST users or part of the URL finds it.
  • History entries (from your request History) — each shows under a History tag; selecting one opens it as a new, unlinked tab (so re-sending it never overwrites a saved request, and {{variables}} stay unresolved for re-sending under a different environment).
  • Environments (plus a synthetic No Environment) — selecting one switches the active Environments and Variables.
  • Themes (Brutalist / Editorial / Arcane Quest) — selecting one switches the Themes and Appearance.

Each result shows an icon, a title, and a subtitle (e.g. "Request", a folder path, "History", "Environment", or "Theme").

Navigating

  • Type to filter (results refine as you pause typing).
  • ↑ / ↓ to move the highlight.
  • Enter to run the highlighted item.
  • Click any result to run it immediately.

The arrow keys and Enter are captured by the palette, so they move the selection rather than the text caret. Selection resets to the top match as results change.

Why use it

It's the quickest path to: open a specific saved request, re-open something from your history, flip environments before sending, or try a different theme — all without reaching for the mouse or the side menu.

To switch environments specifically, there's also a dedicated overlay on Cmd/Ctrl + E — see Environments and Variables.
