Command palette

The VIP Dashboard‘s command palette provides keyboard access to navigation and actions. Press ⌘+K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux to open it from any VIP Dashboard view or panel. Type a few characters and jump directly to logs, Domains & TLS, Insights & Metrics, Security Controls, and more. Available commands are filtered in real time against the current user’s VIP Dashboard access permissions, application type, and environment, and only accessible destinations are shown.

Using the command palette

1. Press ⌘+K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (Windows, Linux) from anywhere in the VIP Dashboard to open the palette.
2. Start typing to filter commands. The palette uses fuzzy matching, meaning partial words and keywords work. Try “logs,” “cache,” “domains,” “plugins,” “sso,” or “data sync.”
3. Use ↑ and ↓ keys to move between results, then press Enter to navigate.
4. If a command requires an application or environment selection, the palette opens a searchable sub-menu. Select the applicable option to continue.
5. Press Escape to close the palette, or press Backspace on an empty input to go back one step from a sub-menu.

Recently Used

When the palette is opened, a Recently Used group appears at the top of results, listing the most recently used commands for quick access.

Permission-aware results

The palette only shows commands accessible to the current user. The following gates apply automatically:

• Role and permissions: Commands that require a specific App or Org role are hidden if the user does not have that role.
• Application type: VIP Dashboard panels specific to WordPress applications are not shown as options for Node.js applications and vice versa.
• WordPress multisites: The Network Sites panel is only shown as an option for WordPress multisite applications.
• Environment: Certain commands are only available for non-production environments.
• Feature flags: Commands gated by a feature flag are only shown when that flag is active for the account.

Troubleshooting

Command palette does not open

The keyboard shortcut may be captured by the browser or another application. Click anywhere inside the VIP Dashboard to return focus to the page, then press ⌘+K or Ctrl+K again.

Expected command is not listed

Commands are filtered against the current user’s access permissions, application type, and environment. Common reasons a command does not appear:

• The destination requires access permissions that the user has not been granted. Review access in the People panel or contact your Org admin if access is needed.
• The application is Node.js and the command is WordPress-only, or vice versa.
• The command is multisite-only and the application is a single-site WordPress install.
• The command is hidden on production environments — try navigating to a non-production environment.
• The command is behind a feature flag not active for the account.
