# Search and shortcuts

The SurrealDB Studio command palette and its keyboard shortcuts.

SurrealDB Studio offers a range of shortcuts to help you navigate the interface more efficiently. You can find a list of all available shortcuts by pressing `Ctrl + K` or `Cmd + K` on your keyboard.

In the search modal, you can access all available shortcuts for open sessions, the views, all available tables in your connected database and the settings dialog.
