Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+P
The command palette provides quick access to all commands available in UltraEdit / UEStudio, with a filter for searching commands by name. You can also directly invoke commands from it. In addition to its shortcut, you can invoke the command palette by clicking its icon in the right of the ribbon bar menu, next to the help icon.
When the command palette opens, you can immediately begin typing to search / filter commands. Only those commands matching your search will be shown.
The command palette includes both commands (i.e., something that executes an action) and settings. Commands are sorted alphabetically and listed at the top of the results. The location of the command is shown in the second column and keyboard shortcuts for the command (if they exist) are shown in the third column. Settings matching the filter are listed alphabetically underneath commands. Once you've selected a command you wish to use you can press Enter or click on it to invoke that specific command or jump to the referenced setting in Settings.
You can launch your custom macros, tools, scripts, and templates directly from the command palette. Just type all or part of the item's name, or if you're not sure, type "play" or "insert" or "tool" to see a list of available items. Press enter to insert or play the selected item.
You can click on the star to the left of a command or setting to add it to your favorites list which appears at the top of the command palette. Click the star again to remove a command or setting from the favorites list.
You can access the last five recently used commands directly below the favorites. If you wish to clear the command history, click the X to the right of the "Recently used" heading.
The command palette maintains a history of all files you've opened, similar to a web browser's browing history. This allows you to quickly re-open a file without having to remember the time or exact location from where you opened it. To open a file from the history, with the command palette open type \ to enter history mode. Begin typing all or part of the path / name of the file you wish to open. You'll see results filtered into the command palette. Once you see the file you wish to open, select it and press Enter to immediately open it. This feature supports local, network, and (S)FTP files.
If you wish to clear the open history, click the X to the right of the "Search recently opened files" heading.
The command palette also functions as a quick open for local files. To open files, with the command palette open, begin typing the path beginning with the drive letter. You'll see auto-suggestions appear in the command palette filtered based upon the path you're typing. Press Tab to auto-complete the path with the selected item. If a full file path is entered, press Enter to open it. You can also use the arrow keys to move through the list of filtered results, then press Enter on the selected result to open it.
You can use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard in the command palette to open multiple files. You can also use relative paths (relative to the active file) and traverse parent directories with "..".
