One keystroke, everything reachable. Cmd-K opens a fuzzy palette that searches commands, hosts, snippets, themes and open tabs at once.

## Open it

⌘ K from anywhere. Esc closes. Each open starts with a fresh query; recently activated rows float to the top via an MRU file at ~/.config/Liu/palette\_mru.

## Result categories

- Commands — every action, including ones with no keybinding.
- Agent sessions — your transcripts across Claude, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Qwen, Cline-family extensions, and more. ↵ resumes natively, ⌘ ↵ opens the transcript viewer.
- Hosts — saved entries from the vault. ↵ connects, ⌘ ↵ opens in a new tab.
- Snippets — saved one-liners. ↵ pastes into the current pane.
- Themes — live-preview as you arrow through, ↵ applies. Includes the AI Create Theme entry.
- Open tabs — fuzzy jump to any open session.

## Matching

Liu uses a scoring-based fuzzy matcher (src/ui/palette.c fuzzy\_score): consecutive character matches, word-start bonuses, camelCase boundaries, and a small gap penalty. The same query against the same item list yields stable ordering. MRU timestamps reorder rows you have activated recently.

Need to know which shortcut an action uses? Open Settings → Keys, or search the palette for the command name — static commands list their palette label verbatim.
