# 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.

| Key         | What it does                                   |

| Enter       | Open the result.                               |
| ⌘ and Enter | Open a task as a full page, not over the page. |
| Escape      | Close the search.                              |

| Alt and ↑ or ↓ | Move the focused pin of the sidebar one place up or down.  |
| Escape         | Close a menu, a dialog or a task that opens over the page. |

## Writing to a teammate

These keys work in each box where you write to a teammate: Home, a chat, the troop chat and the comments of a task.

| Key             | What it does                                                |

## Docs and briefs

These keys work in the shared editor: a doc, an interview, a report and the brief of a task.

| Backspace on an embed | Remove the embed.                                        |

Markdown that you type becomes its block: `#` and a space makes a heading, and `-` and a space makes a list. In History
of a doc, ↑ and ↓ move between the versions. See [Write and share docs](/docs/documents).
