Document editor

Command palette

`Cmd/Ctrl + K` opens the palette — jump to docs, run commands, change settings.

One key, the whole app

The command palette is Kition’s central nervous system. Anything reachable from menus — new doc, theme switch, run agent, export PDF — is searchable and runnable from here. The mouse becomes optional; the keyboard is enough.

Matching is fzf-style fuzzy: type etp and "Export to PDF" surfaces. Recently-used commands float to the top automatically.

Quick navigation

Type plain text — files come first (fuzzy match)
> prefix — restrict to commands only
# prefix — search headings inside docs
@ prefix — search symbols (functions / classes in code blocks)
: prefix — jump to a line number

Common commands

"Open file..." — jump to a doc
"New table..." — create a table
"Run agent task..." — run an agent
"Toggle preview" — switch preview mode
"Export to PDF..." — export
"Open recent" — recently-opened files
"Switch workspace" — change vault
"Reload window" — reload the window (first thing to try when stuck)

Custom commands

Settings → Commands lets you register custom commands surfaced in the palette. Each command supports three kinds of actions: run a shell snippet, open a URL, or trigger an agent task.

Common pattern: wrap "Generate this week’s status report" as a single command bound to an agent prompt + template — then Cmd + K it whenever you need it.

{
  "id": "weekly-report",
  "label": "Generate weekly report",
  "type": "agent",
  "agent": "report-writer",
  "input": {
    "template": "Templates/weekly.md",
    "since": "{{date:-7d}}"
  }
}

Tips

Esc closes; Cmd + K while open switches to "recent files"
Shift + Enter opens the highlighted doc in a new tab
Tab inside the palette pins the current item to the top for next time
Forget the exact name? Search in Chinese or English — labels are bilingually indexed
