Keyboard Shortcuts

Contentrain Studio includes a command palette and keyboard shortcuts for fast navigation. The command palette is a universal search and action hub that works from anywhere in the application.

Command Palette

Press Cmd+K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) to open the command palette.

The palette provides:

• Universal search across models, entries, vocabulary, branches, conversations, projects, and workspaces
• Command execution for common actions
• Recent items for quick access to previously used items

Search Modes

The command palette supports prefix-based search modes:

Prefix	Mode	Description
(none)	Global	Search everything — models, entries, vocabulary, branches, conversations, projects, workspaces
>	Commands	Filter to actionable commands only
#	Vocabulary	Search vocabulary terms by key or value
!	Branches	Search content branches by name
@model	Model	Search within a specific model's entries (e.g., @blog-posts)
?	Help	Show search mode help and keyboard shortcuts

Global Search

Type anything without a prefix to search across all categories. Results are grouped by type:

• Recent — Previously accessed items (shown when no query)
• Commands — Matching actions (shown when query is 2+ characters)
• Models — Content models matching the query
• Vocabulary — Vocabulary terms matching key or value
• Branches — Branches matching the name
• Conversations — Past conversations matching the title
• Projects — Projects matching the repository name
• Workspaces — Workspaces matching name or slug

Command Mode (>)

> dark mode     → Toggle dark/light mode
> settings      → Open workspace settings
> connect       → Connect a repository
> new conv      → Start a new conversation

Vocabulary Mode (#)

Type # to search vocabulary terms:

# navigation    → Find vocab terms with "navigation"
# home          → Find terms with "home" in key or value

Branch Mode (!)

Type ! to search branches:

! blog          → Find branches related to blog content
! merged        → Find branches with "merged" in the name

Model Mode (@)

Type @ followed by a model ID to search within that model:
