# 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.

### How to use it

- 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.

### What you'll find inside

- 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.

### Good to know

- 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.
