Command Palette

One searchable list of just about everything Roam can do: open it, type a few letters, hit Enter.
It's the fastest route to an action when you don't know (or don't remember) its hotkey.

Press Cmd-p / Ctrl-p anywhere.
Type part of a command's name to filter the list. A word or two is enough, in any order.
↑ / ↓ to choose, Enter to run, Esc to close.
When it closes, your cursor returns to the block you were writing in.

App-wide actions: toggle the sidebars, open today's Daily Notes, Advanced Search, Global search, Zen Mode, the Graph Overview, and more.
Housekeeping: import, export and backups, attachments, Check for updates, and Chat with Roam support.
Settings: … commands that jump straight to a specific section of your settings.
Edit Hotkey: … commands that take you to that command in Settings → Hotkeys, so you can give it keys of your own.
Roam Depot: the marketplace and extension settings. Installed extensions can add commands of their own to the list.

Commands that have a hotkey show it on the right, so the palette doubles as a hotkey cheat sheet.
In Zen Mode, Toggle Zen Mode is pinned to the top of the list, so the way out is always one Cmd-p away.
