vmux

Command Palette

Quick access to every vmux command and setting.

Opening the Palette

Press Cmd+Shift+P to open the command palette in the focused window.

Shared Command Catalog

The palette uses the same command catalog as keybinds and voice CMD mode:

  • Stable, namespaced command IDs (for example app.new-window, settings.font-size)
  • One flat command namespace with no ID overlap
  • Parameterized commands (sliders/pickers) can be opened directly from keybinds/voice
  • Commands show assigned keybinds inline (same keycap style used in voice activity)

Using the Palette

Type to search — the palette uses fuzzy matching across command names and keywords. Navigate with:

KeyAction
Up/DownMove through the list
EnterRun the selected command
EscapeClose the palette (or go back from a slider/picker)
Left/RightAdjust sliders or cycle pickers

Recently used commands appear first when the search field is empty.

You can also tap anywhere outside the palette to close it.
