The command bar organises commands into pages:

Root - Quick actions and navigation to other pages
Workspace Actions - Workspace management commands
Repository Actions - Per-repository Git and repository commands
View Options - Panel visibility toggles
Diff Options - Diff viewer settings
Issue Actions - Project board commands when the command bar is opened in kanban/project context

Use the search field to filter commands across all pages, or navigate to specific pages for categorised access.

Start typing to search for any command. The command bar uses fuzzy matching, so you don’t need to type the exact command name.
