⌨️ Command palette

The command palette is the quickest way around the admin. Press ⌘K on macOS or Ctrl K on Windows and Linux, or click the search button at the top of the main menu, and type where you want to go.

What it offers​

  • Navigate to the dashboard, the media library and every registered model the editor may view.
  • Create a new object of every model the editor may add.
  • Trash: the trash page of every model with soft delete.
  • Theme: light, dark or the system setting.
  • Log out.

The entries filter as you type.

After two or more characters, the palette also searches the objects themselves: every registered model with search_fields, matched the same way as on its list page. Results appear grouped by model; picking one opens its edit page.

# blog/admin.py
from content_studio import register
from content_studio.admin import ModelStudio

from .models import Article


@register(Article)
class ArticleStudio(ModelStudio):
    search_fields = ["title"]  # also searched from the palette

The search only covers models the editor may view, only the selected tenant's objects, and leaves out objects in the trash. It shows at most five results per model, so one large model cannot crowd out the others; the list page's own search finds everything.
