⌘K opens a search field over the workspace. Type a few letters, hit Return. It is the fastest way to do almost anything in FlowDeck, and the only one you have to remember — everything below is reachable from it, whether or not the surface that owns it is on screen.

What it searches

Projects and sessions

Switch to any open project, jump to a session, start a new one, or close and delete the active session.

Build, run, and test

Build, Run, Test, and Clean, plus the scheme and destination to run them on.

Source control

Commit, push, pull, fetch, publish, open the diff viewer, open a pull request, merge it, discard changes, copy the branch name.

Panels and tools

Show or hide the Changes, Tests, and Issues views; open Simulators & Runtimes, Skills Manager, or Disk Cleanup.

Agent setup

Change the model, reasoning effort, or permission mode for the active session, and switch between Agent and Plan mode.

Settings

Session settings, schemes, build settings, Swift packages, xcodebuild arguments, and the PR automation toggles.
It also reaches out of the app where that is the obvious thing to do: Open Project in Xcode, Reveal Project in Finder, and Open the active worktree folder.

Things worth knowing

It shows you what an action will do. Results carry a one-line description — “Push this branch to its remote”, “Reclaim disk space used by FlowDeck and Xcode” — so you are not guessing from a verb. Unavailable actions say so rather than disappearing. An action that cannot run right now — a merge with no pull request, a push with nothing to push — is listed and marked, so you can tell “not applicable yet” from “not a feature”. Toggles report their current state. Settings that are on or off, such as auto-merging monitored PRs or deleting the remote branch after a merge, show Currently on or Currently off in the result, so flipping one from the palette is not a coin toss. Model and effort are per session. Setting them here applies to the session you are in, the same as changing them in the composer.
If a shortcut has slipped your mind, ⌘K is faster than finding the menu. If you never learn another shortcut, learn this one.
