Command Palette

The command palette is the fastest way to do anything in Pull Panda. It is a single search box that knows every command in the app — from navigation to theme changes to PR actions.

Opening it

Press Cmd+K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux from any screen. The palette opens centered over the current view. Press Esc to dismiss it.

Searching

Start typing. The list filters in real time and matches are case-insensitive. Use the arrow keys to move through results and Enter to run the highlighted command.

Commands are grouped by category so the list stays scannable even when you have not typed anything yet.

Command groups

• App. Top-level actions like syncing pull requests.
• Navigation. Jump between screens — go home, open a pull request.
• Pull Request. Actions on the currently open PR — open on GitHub, copy link, check out the branch, start a review. Only available when you are looking at a PR.
• Appearance. Switch between light, dark, and system themes, or pick a named theme.
• View. Toggle UI affordances such as the FPS counter.
• Code Theme. Choose the syntax highlighting theme for the Files tab.

Parameterized commands

Some commands need an extra piece of information — for example, "Open Pull Request" needs to know which PR. When you pick one of these, the palette switches to a second step where you select the parameter. Pressing Cmd+P from anywhere is a shortcut that goes directly to the PR picker.

Press Esc to back out of the parameter step and return to the command list.

Why it matters

Most actions in Pull Panda also have a direct shortcut. The palette is for the times when you cannot remember the shortcut, or when the action is rare enough that learning a key for it is not worth it. It is also the discovery surface — every command in the app is listed and searchable.
