Command palette

Introduced in GitLab 16.2 with a flag named command_palette. Enabled by default.

You can use command palette to narrow down the scope of your search or to find an object more quickly.

On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is available. To hide the feature, an administrator can disable the feature flag named command_palette. On GitLab.com, this feature is available.

To open the command palette:

  1. On the left sidebar, at the top, select Search GitLab () or use the / key to enable.

  2. Type one of the special characters:

    • > - Create a new object or find a menu item.
    • @ - Search for a user.
    • : - Search for a project.
    • / - Search for project files in the default repository branch.
