A handy new tool that streamlines navigation, editing, and settings changes.
Jeremy Anderberg
Can we all agree that keyboard shortcuts have become indispensable to the experience of using a computer? Just think about where the world would be without copy\/paste! We may not think about them much, but these combinations of keystrokes have helped millions of people make their daily\u2014even hourly<\/em>\u2014workflows faster and more efficient. 
WordPress already utilizes a number of incredibly handy keyboard shortcuts:
And now, with the brand Command Palette tool, yet another piece has been added to the ever-growing kit of convenient, time-saving keyboard shortcuts. 
We think it\u2019s pretty darn cool, so in this short post we\u2019ll walk you through where and how to use it. 
The Command Palette is available across the editing experience, whether you\u2019re switching between templates in the Site Editor or toggling through settings in a post\/page, with specific contextual options depending on where you are. While in editing or writing mode, simply hit Command+K (Mac) or Control+K (PC). This will bring up a handy little search box with the instructions: \u201cType a command or search.\u201d 
Type \u201cnew\u201d to bring up quick actions for adding a new post or page. Enter the name of a specific post or page on your site to quickly navigate exactly where you want (\u201cAbout page,\u201d for example). Or access a template in a flash by typing \u201cHeader,\u201d \u201cFooter,\u201d \u201cHome,\u201d etc. 
Beyond the basics, you can dive deeper into the WordPress experience with the following commands: 
Site Editor-specific commands:
Block-specific commands: 
Think of the Command Palette as the ultimate shortcut tool, allowing you to do more with fewer clicks, whether you\u2019re trying to toggle a specific setting or transform an Image Block to a Cover Block.
You can move almost anywhere in the editor from this shortcut box, so play around, get comfortable with it, and make navigating your site even more of a breeze than it was before.
