Command palette
The command palette (Cmd+K) is the fastest way to do anything. Type to search:
- Actions: "new session", "compare experiments", "export canvas"
- Navigation: "settings", "billing", "docs"
- Agents: "hire researcher", "dismiss agent"
Results are ranked by frequency. Things you use often float to the top.
Customization
Meshia doesn't support custom keybindings yet. If a shortcut conflicts with your OS or browser, the browser shortcut takes priority. We're working on making shortcuts configurable.
