Command palette

The command palette is a keyboard shortcut menu that can be used to quickly navigate to GUI pages, run specific actions like opening the CLI console and restoring a system configuration, and running troubleshooting or debug commands like get system status and show arp table.

The enhanced global search in the top header menu provides quick command palette access from the GUI and additional keyboard shortcuts.

The following global search functions can be selected from the top header menu or by using keyboard shortcuts:

Search function	Keyboard shortcut	Definition
Jump to page	ctrl + p	Quickly navigate to a new GUI page.
Open	ctrl + shift + p	Open a monitor in a prompt without changing the current GUI page, such as packet capture and the CLI console.
CLI diagnostics	ctrl + p followed by /	Run a diagnostic CLI command without the CLI console. Recently used commands are listed first. Once a command has been selected, you can search within the output, copy the output, download an output file, and run the command again.
