# Command Palette

> Access over 200 commands via fuzzy search with customizable keyboard shortcuts. The fastest way to control every aspect of Gridshift.

The **Command Palette** is a fuzzy-searchable list of every command in Gridshift, opened with `⌘K`. Start typing to filter commands, use the arrow keys to navigate, and press `Return` to execute. Press `Escape` to go back or close.

Any command can have a custom keyboard shortcut:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Command Palette (⌘K)" />

  <Step title="Find the command you want" />

  <Step title="Press ⌘S" />

  <Step title="Press your desired key combination" />

  <Step title="Done — the shortcut is now active" />
</Steps>

<Note>
  If your combination is already used by another command, Gridshift shows you which command owns it and keeps Save disabled until you clear it and pick a different one.
</Note>

Shortcuts are stored locally and persist across sessions.

## Sub-commands

Some commands have sub-menus for additional options. For example:

* **Select Instrument** → shows available Audio Unit instruments
* **Add Effect** → shows available Audio Unit effects
* **Change Scale** → shows all available scales
* **Set Track Color** → shows the color palette

Press `Return` to drill into the sub-menu. Sub-commands can also have their own shortcuts.

## Favorites & recents

Commands you use frequently appear at the top:

* **Favorites** (⭐) — commands you've explicitly marked with `⌘D`
* **Recents** — your most recently used commands

## Shortcuts

The keys below drive the palette itself. The [Global Shortcuts](/shortcuts/global) reference lists app-wide commands, and any command in the palette can be bound to your own key.
