Command Palette & shortcuts

Jump anywhere with the command palette, and drive Dora from the keyboard with a full shortcut reference.

Command palette

Press Mod+K (⌘ on macOS, Ctrl elsewhere) anywhere in Dora to open the command palette. From it you can navigate to any view, switch connections, jump to a table, reopen a query from history, open a snippet, manage Docker containers, or go to settings. Start typing to filter; a breadcrumb shows where you are.

Keyboard shortcuts

Mod is ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl on Windows / Linux.
