Search and keyboard shortcuts
What ⌘K finds, and every keyboard shortcut of the app.
Search finds any part of Troopy from the keyboard, and each page has keys of its own. This page lists what ⌘K finds and every keyboard shortcut of the app. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl in the place of ⌘.
Search with ⌘K
Press ⌘K, or select Search at the top of the sidebar. Type a few words. The box says "Find a task, a project, a teammate, a page...".
| Group | What it finds |
|---|---|
| Tasks | Tasks by their title or their key, such as VIR-12. |
| Actions | New task, New doc, Hire a teammate and more. The theme and the sidebar too. |
| Saved views | The views that you saved on Tasks. |
| Projects | Projects by their name. |
| Teammates | Teammates. A result opens the chat of the teammate. |
| Docs | Docs by their title. |
| Interviews | Interviews by their title. |
| Research | Research by its question. |
| Vault | Vault items by their name. |
| Go to | The pages of the app, such as Help and support. |
| Guides | The guides of these docs. A result opens in a new tab. |
Search shows only what you can open. A reader sees no action that makes something. A person sees no product that they lack.
