Blog: Command Palette Now Covers Every Page and Every Entity
Command Palette Now Covers Every Page and Every Entity
Release: v0.1.63 · Usability
The problem we fixed
The command palette (⌘K) was already useful as a quick way to jump between a handful of core pages. But "a handful" turned out to be exactly six — Overview, Team, Activity, Jobs, Settings, and Admin — out of 27 total navigation sections in the product. The 21 workflow pages that agents use most (check-ins, check-outs, tenancies, deduction claims, reports, and more) simply weren't indexed.
Search was similarly limited. You could find a team member or scan recent activity, but you couldn't type a street name and land on the right property. You couldn't search for a tenant by name. You couldn't pull up an open deduction claim directly. For agents managing dozens of properties at once, that meant breaking keyboard flow and clicking through the sidebar every time.
What's new in v0.1.63
All 27 nav routes in the palette
Every navigation section is now registered in the navCommands array. Each command ships with relevant keywords, so you can reach a page even if you don't remember its exact label. Typing deposit, check out, or compliance will surface the right destination.
Real entity search
The search.query tRPC endpoint now queries five entity types:
| Entity | Searchable by |
|---|---|
| Properties | Address, postcode |
| Tenancies | Property address, tenant name |
| Tenants | Full name |
| Check-in / check-out reports | Property address, report type |
| Deduction claims | Property address, claim status |
Results load inline as you type — no separate search page required.
Grouped result sections
Results are now organised into four clearly labelled sections so you always know what you're looking at:
- Navigate To — static nav destinations
- Properties — matching property records
- Tenancies — active and historic tenancies
- Reports — check-in, check-out, and mid-term inspection reports
How to use it
- Press
⌘K(Mac) orCtrl+K(Windows / Linux) from anywhere in the app. - Start typing a page name, property address, postcode, tenant name, or report type.
- Use the arrow keys to move between results, then press
Enterto navigate. - Press
Escapeto close.
Why this matters
For agents handling end-of-tenancy workflows, speed is compliance. Every second spent clicking through navigation is a second not spent reviewing evidence, resolving a dispute, or communicating with a tenant. The command palette, in its expanded form, is now a genuine productivity tool rather than a navigation shortcut — one that understands the entities and workflows that matter most in deposit management.
