# MainWP Command Palette

> Find and open MainWP Dashboard pages using the Command Palette, keyboard shortcuts, and searchable menu paths.

The Command Palette lets you jump to MainWP Dashboard pages by typing a page or section name. Use it to open settings, manage plugins, or reach an Add-on page without navigating through the sidebar menus.

## What You'll Learn

* Open the Command Palette with a keyboard shortcut or the header button
* Search for a MainWP page and choose the correct destination
* Navigate using the keyboard or mouse

## Prerequisites

* MainWP Dashboard 6.2 or later
* WordPress 6.9 or later on the site where MainWP Dashboard is installed
* Access to the MainWP pages you want to open

MainWP integrates with the built-in [WordPress Command Palette](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor-command-palette/). No separate Add-on or setup is required.

## Open the Command Palette

While viewing MainWP Dashboard, use the shortcut for your operating system:

| Operating System | Shortcut        |
| ---------------- | --------------- |
| Mac              | **Command + K** |
| Windows or Linux | **Ctrl + K**    |

You can also click the **Command Palette** button in the header. The button displays **⌘K** on Mac or **Ctrl+K** on Windows and Linux.
