Cmd+K: the command palette
Cmd+K opens a search-and-jump palette from anywhere in Closr. It's the same pattern you've seen in Linear, Superhuman, or Raycast: one keystroke, type a few letters, hit enter, you're there. It's not chat. Chat is for actual work (drafting, running CMAs, logging deals); the palette is for navigation and quick actions.
Opening it
- •**Cmd+K** on Mac, **Ctrl+K** on Windows / Linux. Works from any authenticated page.
- •**`/`** also opens it, as long as you're not typing in an input or textarea. Quick way to summon it while reading a deal page.
- •**Esc** closes it. Click outside the modal closes it too.
The sidebar shows a small ⌘K hint in its utility row so you don't forget it's there.
What's searchable
Type at least two characters and the palette fires a server search across:
- •**Contacts**: by name, email, or company.
- •**Deals**: by title or property address.
- •**Transactions**: by address, buyer name, or seller name.
- •**Campaigns**: by name.
Results stay grouped by type so you can scan quickly. Each row shows the secondary info that disambiguates (email for contacts, status for deals).
Always-on rows
Even before you type, the palette shows:
- •**On this page**: context verbs. Open the palette on a deal page and you get "Send for signature on this deal," "Log a note," "Open chat for this deal." On a contact page, you get "Send email," "Send SMS," "Log a call," "Send for signature." On an eSign editor, "Auto-place fields" and "Send for signature." The actions change based on where you are.
- •**Recipes**: saved Closr recipes you've turned on for the palette. Selecting one drops you into Brief with the recipe pre-loaded into the chat input.
- •**Jump to**: every major surface (Brief, Pipeline, Contacts, Inbox, Dialer, Sign Queue, Mass Email, Source Attribution, Routing rules, Integrations, Settings).
Keyboard navigation
- •**↑ / ↓** move between rows.
- •**Enter** picks the highlighted row.
- •The list loops, so down-arrow from the bottom takes you back to the top.
Where it differs from chat
Use the palette when you know **what page or contact you want**. Use chat when you want Closr to **do something for you** (draft an email, run a CMA, build a sequence). Rule of thumb: if your sentence has a verb and a subject, it's chat. If it's just a noun ("Sarah Jenkins," "Pipeline," "142 Eastern"), it's the palette.
The palette doubles as a teacher. Every shortcut chip on the right shows you the keyboard hotkey for that action. After a couple weeks you'll find yourself skipping the palette for the things you do most.
