Keyboard Shortcuts

Command Palette

The Command Palette provides fast, keyboard-driven access to everything in Flowcus. Open it with ⌘⇧P and start typing to:

  • Navigate to any task, column or swimlane
  • Execute commands using natural language
  • Create, move, complete or block tasks
  • Switch between all four views — Board, Aging, Analyse and Blueprint
  • Open settings and switch filters
  • Access Sidekick actions
  • Open the help site with the "Flowcus Help" command

Commands show their keyboard shortcut beside them, so the palette doubles as a way to learn the shortcuts you use most.

The Command Palette supports natural language input, so you can type commands the way you'd describe them rather than memorising specific syntax.
