Quick Open
Quick Open lets you jump to any document in your project instantly using a keyboard shortcut and fuzzy search.
Opening Quick Open
Press the keyboard shortcut to open the Quick Open dialog:
| Platform | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| macOS | ⌘ + P |
| Windows | Ctrl + P |
| Linux | Ctrl + P |
Searching for Files
Start typing to search across all documents and worldbuilding elements in your project:
- Fuzzy matching — Type partial names like "chap" to find "Chapter One"
- Case insensitive — "INTRO" matches "Introduction"
- Match highlighting — Matching characters are highlighted in results
Recent Files
When you open Quick Open without typing anything, it shows your recently opened files first. This makes it easy to jump back to documents you were just working on.
Keyboard Navigation
Navigate the results without touching your mouse:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
↑ ↓ | Move selection up/down |
Enter | Open the selected file |
Escape | Close Quick Open |
