chrome://extensions/shortcutsHow do I set a keyboard shortcut for the command palette?
Head over to
chrome://extensions/shortcuts and add a keyboard shortcut to launch the command palette. I recommend cmd + K on Mac or ctrl + K on Windows.
How do I open or close the command palette?
Set a keyboard shortcut on this page
chrome://extensions/shortcuts and use that to open the command palette on any page. To close, hit Escape or click anywhere outside the palette. If you run a command, the palette closes immediately after the command is run.How do I switch between categories?
You will see the list of available categories for command at the top of the command palette. To switch between categories, press the
Tab key. Use Shift + Tab to go in the reverse direction.
Can I customize the command palette to only show some categories (e.g. tabs)?
This feature is planned but not currently available.
Can I add my own commands?
I’ve been intentional in my design to make it easy to add custom commands in the future but letting others add commands will require some more work on storing custom user data. Please reach out and tell me how what kinds of commands you would like to add and on which websites so I can determine the best way to help!
Why doesn’t the command palette work on the new tab page?
At present, the command palette relies on the injection of javascript into a web page to enable commands that click on buttons, links, or checkboxes. This isn’t allowed on the Chrome internal pages such as the new tab page. I am working on adding a popup to the extension that will be available on these pages so you can continue using the command palette on any tab soon!
