# Appfarm Commander

Appfarm Commander is a command palette for navigating in Appfarm Create, running simple commands, and searching the documentation.

## Usage

Launch Appfarm Commander from anywhere in Appfarm Create with the keyboard shortcut `Command` + `K` (Mac) or `Control` + `K` (Windows), or by selecting **Appfarm Commander** from the top-left menu.

On launch, Appfarm Commander lists items from the main menu, as well as sub-sections within the active app (if relevant). You can use the arrow keys to navigate through this list, or start typing to filter the items. Press `Enter` on a selected item or click to go directly to that page.

You may also use Appfarm Commander for search.&#x20;

* Start typing to search for concepts depending on the menu or context you are in. For example, when you are in the menu **Apps -> UI**, you may search for UI Components, and you are also given an option to *add the UI Components from the commander*. When you are in **Apps -> Actions**, you may search for action nodes (and add them as well).&#x20;
* Search for a menu, such as "Themes", allows you to navigate to the Themes menu from Appfarm Commander.
* Prefix your search `!` to search globally. For example, search for a given action name across Apps and Services.&#x20;

You can search across specific collections and run simple commands by appending a prefix to your query.
