Command Palette & Keyboard Shortcuts

Command Palette

Access all available Fabric Web Studio functionality and commands from the top menu by selecting View > Command Palette or use ⇧⌘P on a Mac or F1 in Windows (or Ctrl+Shift+P) to bring up the Command Palette.

  • Each command appears with its associated shortcut (if one exists). If you forget a keyboard shortcut (also referred to as a "key binding"), use the Command Palette to help you out.

  • The Command Palette shows first the recently used commands and then all other commands.

  • If you do not remember the exact command, just start to type the keyword that might fit to filter relevant matches. The Command Palette will complete the command.

  • The Command Palette includes both standard IDE commands, as well as Fabric dedicated commands. Once the palette is opened type "Fabric" to filter and see them.
