Command Palette
Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) to open the command palette — the fastest way to navigate Sentri and ask the AI assistant.
Two Modes
The palette operates in two modes that you can switch between with a single-character prefix:
| Mode | Prefix | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Command | > | Fuzzy-search navigation links and actions | Free — pure frontend |
| AI Chat | ? | Send a natural-language question to Sentri AI | Same as AI Chat |
| Unified | (none) | Shows command results first, with an AI fallback row at the bottom | Free until you select the AI row |
Examples
| You type | What happens |
|---|---|
dash | Matches Go to Dashboard — press Enter to navigate |
>settings | Force command mode — matches Go to Settings |
?why are my tests flaky | Force AI mode — press Enter to open AI Chat with your question |
debug login | Unified mode — shows matching commands and an "Ask Sentri AI" row at the bottom |

Fuzzy Matching
The search uses a character-by-character fuzzy matcher that:
- Matches characters in order (not necessarily adjacent)
- Rewards prefix matches and exact substrings
- Penalises gaps between matched characters
- Highlights matched ranges in the results
Typing gts matches Go to Settings — the matched characters are highlighted in the result list.
AI Fallback
When you type a query that doesn't look like a command (or when no commands match well enough), the palette shows an "Ask Sentri AI" row at the bottom of the results. Selecting it closes the palette and opens the AI Chat panel with your query pre-filled.
This means you never need to decide upfront whether you want to navigate or ask a question — just type and pick the best result.
