Getting around quickly

One shortcut reaches every page and most of the controls — worth learning on day one.

2 min read

Alltra has a command palette. Press ⌘K on a Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows from anywhere in the product and a search box opens over the page.

Open, type a few letters, press Enter. You never have to know the page’s name.

It is the fastest thing in the product and almost nobody finds it on their own. If you learn one shortcut, learn this one.

What it can do

Go back — the tab it opens on lists the pages you were last on, newest first.
Go anywhere — every page in every app, by name. Start typing and it narrows.
Open Settings — including a tab for the settings sections themselves.
Open Styles — the chart colour trio, without leaving what you are reading.
Open the date picker — change the window every figure is calculated over.
Connect a broker — straight into the link flow.
Log an emotion — without navigating to the Tracker first.

It opens on where you have been

The first tab is Recents: the pages you were last on, newest first, each with how long ago you were there — and never the page you are on, which you do not need offering back to you. It is the same record Home’s Recent activity card shows, so the two can never disagree, and it survives a reload. Until you have been anywhere it says so rather than inventing a list.

Why its list is always right

The page rows are built from the same navigation config the rail is, so the palette cannot offer you a page that does not exist and cannot miss one that does. Nothing is maintained by hand, which is why it stays correct as the product grows.
