title: "Using the command bar"
|
|
description: "Open the command bar with ⌘K to search your resumes and applications, jump to any page, change theme or language, or ask the assistant a question."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The command bar is a search box that runs commands. Use it to open a resume or application by name, jump to any page,
|
|
switch the theme or language, or send a question straight to the assistant, without reaching for the mouse.
|
|
|
|
<Frame caption="The command bar when it first opens">

<img src="/images/guides/using-the-command-bar/command-bar-root.webp" alt="The command bar with the placeholder "Type a command or search…" and three groups: Search for… with Resumes, Applications and Assistant conversations; Preferences with Change theme to… and Change language to…; and Go to… with Home, Documents and New document." />
|
|
</Frame>
|
|
|
|
## Open the command bar
|
|
|
|
Press <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd> on a Mac or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd> on Windows and Linux. It works on every page,
|
|
including inside the editor. On **Documents**, **Applications** and **Settings**, you can also select **Search or
|
|
run…** at the top of the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
To close it, press <kbd>Esc</kbd> or press <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd> again.
|
|
|
|
## Run a command
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Type what you're looking for">
|
|
Start typing to filter the list. For example, type "theme" to find **Change theme to…**, or "trash" to find
|
|
**Trash**.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Pick a row">
|
|
Use <kbd>↑</kbd> and <kbd>↓</kbd> to move, then press <kbd>Enter</kbd>, or select the row with the mouse.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Start over if you need to">
|
|
Some rows open a second list, such as your resumes or the list of languages. To get back to the first list, press
|
|
<kbd>Esc</kbd> to close the command bar, then open it again.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
## What you can do
|
|
|
|
The command bar groups its rows by what they do. Rows that need an account appear or become available once you're
|
|
signed in.
|
|
|
|
### Search for…
|
|
|
|
| Row | What it does |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| **Resumes** | Lists your resumes, most recently edited first. Type to filter by name, then press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to open one in the editor. The first row, **Create a new resume**, opens the **New document** dialog. |
|
|
| **Applications** | Lists your job applications. Type a company or role to filter, then open one to see its details. **New Application** starts a new one. |
|
|
| **Assistant conversations** | Lists your past conversations with the assistant. Opening one takes you to its document with the conversation showing. |
|
|
|
|
### Preferences
|
|
|
|
| Row | What it does |
|

|
|
| **Change language to…** | Choose one of the 55 languages the app is available in. |
|
|
|
|
### Go to…
|
|
|
|
| Row | Where it goes |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| **Home** | The Reactive Resume home page. |
|
|
| **Documents** | Your resumes and cover letters. |
|
|
| **New document** | Opens the **New document** dialog. |
|
|
| **Trash** | Documents you moved to Trash. |
|
|

|
| **New Application** | Opens the dialog to add an application. |
|
|
| **Settings** | Opens a second list with **Account**, **Preferences** and **AI & developer**. |
|
|
|
|
## Ask the assistant
|
|
|
|
When you're signed in, anything you type also appears as a last row: **Ask the assistant "…"**, with your text in the
|
|
quotes. Choosing it sends your text to the [assistant](/guides/using-the-assistant).
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
- **In the editor**, the question is about the document you have open. The assistant panel opens and sends it.
|
|
- **Anywhere else**, Reactive Resume opens the document you edited most recently, opens the assistant and sends your
|
|
question there. If you don't have any documents yet, it asks you to create a resume first.
|
|
|
|
The assistant needs an AI provider. If you haven't connected one, the assistant panel helps you set one up first. See
|
|
[Connecting an AI provider](/guides/using-ai).
