Command palette
The command palette is Foundation’s keyboard-first launcher. Use it to jump to an action without hunting through menus — change status, export, share, refresh, open details.
The palette is context-aware: when a specific issue is focused, you get issue actions. When nothing is focused, you get general lens actions.
Open the palette
Section titled “Open the palette”- Press
/anywhere in the grid to open the general palette. - Press
.(period) on a focused row to open the palette scoped to that issue. - From the toolbar, click the command palette button (lightning icon).
Cmd + K is not used because Forge Custom UI iframes cannot intercept it — the browser grabs it for the address bar. / is the reliable equivalent.
Filter and pick an action
Section titled “Filter and pick an action”- Start typing — the list filters by label.
- Use Arrow Up and Arrow Down to change the selection.
- Press Enter to run the highlighted action.
- Press Escape or click outside to close without running anything.
Issue actions (focused row)
Section titled “Issue actions (focused row)”When opened on a focused row, the palette shows:
- Change status — opens the inline status editor for that row.
- Change priority — opens the inline priority editor.
- Change assignee — opens the inline assignee picker.
- Open in Jira — jumps to the issue in Jira.
- View details — opens the Inspector panel side-view for the issue.
General actions (toolbar)
Section titled “General actions (toolbar)”When opened from the toolbar with no row focus, the palette shows:
- Refresh data — reloads the lens from the cache.
- Export to CSV — downloads the current view.
- Export to Markdown — downloads a Markdown outline of the tree.
- Export timeline to PNG — captures the visible Gantt as an image.
- Export full timeline to PNG — captures the full timeline including off-screen rows.
- Share lens — opens the Share dialog.
- The palette remembers no history between sessions — it’s stateless on purpose.
- Pair it with Arrow keys for grid navigation: move the focused row, then hit
.to act on it. - If the palette doesn’t open, check that you’re not inside a text input — it ignores keypresses while you’re typing into a cell editor or search box.
