Settings Search & Command Palette

Sythoria has three keyboard search tools. They open different parts of the app.

Settings search#

Press Ctrl+Space to bring Sythoria to the front and open the settings search. Start typing a section name such as Models, Privacy, Appshots, or MCP. Use the arrow keys to move through the results and press Enter to open a section.

This search does not send a prompt to a model. It only navigates the Settings screen.

Ctrl+Space is registered as a system-wide shortcut in v0.4.4. It is currently fixed and does not appear in the keyboard-shortcut editor.

Command palette#

Press Ctrl+Shift+P while Sythoria is focused. The palette can run these commands:

• start a new conversation;
• open Settings or Project Workspaces;
• turn web search or the current theme on and off;
• zoom in, zoom out, or reset zoom;
• create a project; and
• check for application updates.

The command palette shortcut can be changed under Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Conversation picker#

Ctrl+K opens the conversation picker. It does not open the command palette. Use it when you know part of a conversation title and want to switch without browsing the sidebar.

Shortcut conflicts#

An operating system or another application can claim the same shortcut. If Ctrl+Space does nothing, confirm that Sythoria is running and check the operating system's global shortcut settings. Other Sythoria shortcuts can be changed in the app.
