Find anything

Jump to any command, session or old prompt from the keyboard.

Quick Access

Press Cmd+Shift+P to search every command and action in Ghostex, or Cmd+P to jump to a recent session. You can also click Commands at the bottom of the sidebar.

Quick Access has five tabs, switched with Cmd+1 to Cmd+5:

  • Commands: everything the app can do, with its shortcut.
  • Projects: switch to another project.
  • Sessions: every session, including closed ones and conversations started outside Ghostex.
  • Saved Prompts: prompts you saved, and unsent drafts Ghostex kept for you (under Recovered).
  • Files: find a file in any project by part of its name or path. Press Cmd+O to open this tab directly.

The filters at the right of the search line narrow the list, for example to closed sessions, one project, or a tag.

Press Enter to run the selected row, or Cmd+K to see everything else you can do with it.

The Files tab lists what git would, so ignored files and folders like node_modules stay out. Letters in order are enough: qawin finds quick_access/window.rs. Cmd+Shift+C copies the file’s full path.

Closed sessions

More Options > Sessions in the sidebar opens the Sessions tab, and Import Sessions opens it on conversations you started outside Ghostex. A project’s History (in its right-click menu) shows the sessions you closed in that project. Pick one to bring it back.

Search by Prompt

Press Cmd+Shift+F to search every prompt you’ve ever sent to any agent. Press Enter on a result to resume that conversation. Star the prompts you reuse so they stay on top.

In a terminal, ghostex f opens the same search.

Back and forward

Cmd+[ and Cmd+] move back and forward through the sessions you visited, like a browser. Ctrl+Tab moves to the next session in the sidebar.

On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl instead of Cmd. A few keys differ; see Keyboard shortcuts.
