Command Palette

Verne’s command palette has three entry points. Each one opens a different mode, though you can switch between them without closing.

Entry points

Shortcut Mode What it searches
⌘K Unified Files, actions, and running agents together
⌘P Files File names only
⌘⇧P Actions Commands only

Switching modes

A scope pill in the palette header shows the current mode. Click it to cycle, or press Backspace on an empty input to return to unified mode from any scoped view.

File results are frecency-ranked, so files you have opened recently float to the top. Type any substring of a filename or path to filter. Selecting a result opens the file in the right panel.

Actions

Actions are grouped into categories: View (toggle panels, open settings, select theme), Workspace (open a folder, new terminal, split pane, new worktree, set agent scope), Tabs (next, previous, close, reopen), Editor (save, go to line, add file to agent, toggle word wrap, minimap, line numbers, sticky scroll, Markdown default view), and Git (commit).

Most actions are visible at all times; some only appear when a workspace is open or an editor tab is active.

Go to Line

Inside an editor, ⌃G opens the Go to Line prompt directly without going through the palette.
