# Using the command palette
> Open the Hiresweep command palette to start a resume, jump to any page or setting, search your resumes and applications, and change theme or language. Includes every keyboard shortcut.
The command palette is a search box that opens on top of any page. Use it to start something new, go to a page or a settings section, find a resume or an application, and change your theme or language without leaving the keyboard.
## Open and close it
- Press ⌘ K on a Mac or Ctrl K on Windows and Linux. Press it again to close.
- Or select **Search or jump to…** at the top of the dashboard sidebar.
- Press Esc to close it.
Type to filter the list, use the arrow keys to move and press Enter to choose. Some items open a sub-page, such as **Settings** or **Find a resume…**. To go back, select **Back** or press Backspace while the search box is empty.
## Actions
| Action | What it does |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Import PDF or Word** | Opens the import dialog. See [Importing resumes](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/importing-resumes). |
| **Draft with the agent**| Opens a new agent chat that drafts a resume with you. See [Using the AI agent](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/using-ai-agent). |
| **Start blank** | Creates an empty resume. See [Creating your first resume](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/creating-your-first-resume). |
| **New chat** | Opens a new agent chat. |
| **Add job** | Opens the dialog to save a job posting by its link. See [Tracking job applications](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/tracking-job-applications). |
| **Find a resume…** | Lists all your resumes. Choose one to open it in the builder, or select **Create a new resume**. |
If **Draft with the agent** is greyed out with "AI isn't available on this server right now.", try again later.
## Go to…
**Go to…** lists the same pages as the dashboard sidebar: **Overview**, **Discover**, **Applications**, **Resumes**, **Agent**, **Clients** (only for operators, see [Working with clients](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/working-with-clients)) and **Settings**.
**Settings** opens a sub-page with every settings section, such as **Profile**, **Sign-in & security**, **Plan & usage** and **API keys**. You can find a section by other words too: "billing" finds **Plan & usage**, "2FA" or "password" finds **Sign-in & security** and "MCP" finds **Connected assistants**.
## Search your resumes and applications
Type at least two characters on the first page of the palette. Above the commands, you see up to eight matching **Applications** (by company, job title or status) and up to eight matching **Resumes** (by name). Resumes the agent is working on are tagged **Agent draft**.
## Preferences
- **Change theme to…** offers **Light theme** and **Dark theme**.
- **Change language to…** lists every app language. Choosing one reloads the page.
See [Setting preferences](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/setting-preferences).
## Keyboard shortcuts
On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl wherever the table shows ⌘.
### Everywhere
| Shortcut | What it does |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ⌘ K | Open or close the command palette. |
| ⌘ . | Show or hide the side card on dashboard pages that have one. |
### Resume builder
| Shortcut | What it does |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| ⌘ {"\\"} | Show or hide the Edit panel. Not available on phones. |
| ⌘ . | Show or hide the Agent card. |
| ⌘ S | Save now. Hiresweep saves on its own as you type; the save status in the header confirms it. |
| Esc | In an open section, go back to the list of sections. On a card that floats over the canvas, close it. |
| A | Accept the agent suggestion your focus is on. |
| S | Skip the agent suggestion your focus is on. |
| Enter | Send your message in the Agent card. Shift Enter starts a new line. |
A and S work only while a suggestion card or one of its buttons has focus, never while you are typing. See [Using AI in the builder](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/using-ai-in-the-builder).
### Agent
| Shortcut | What it does |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ⌘ Shift O | Start a new chat. Works on any agent page. |
| ⌘ . | Show or hide the resume card next to a chat. |
| Enter | Send your message. Shift Enter starts a new line. |
⌘ Shift O doesn't fire while you are typing a new request on the agent's start page, so you don't lose what you wrote. In an open chat it does, and your draft waits for you when you come back.
### Discover
In the **One at a time** view of your matches, press A to add the job, D to dismiss it and S to leave it for later. See [Discovering jobs](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/discovering-jobs).
