What used to be called Search Anything has grown into something bigger. Meet the Actions menu: a single command palette for searching your workspace, running slash commands, and jumping straight to app actions.

Open it from the magnifying-glass icon in the footer, or press Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux and Cmd+Shift+P on macOS.

Search is still first

Open the Actions menu to search the workspace, run slash commands, or jump to app actions.

Type normally and HarborClient searches across your workspace in one place. Results are grouped so you can scan quickly:

  • Collections, folders, and requests — jump to saved API work with method badges and breadcrumb context
  • Environments — switch to the right variable set fast
  • Settings — find individual options like proxy, SSL verification, or AI provider keys
  • Pages — open top-level tabs such as Snippets
  • Plugins and themes — search installed extensions and marketplace listings
  • Snippet bundles — discover reusable script libraries

Pick a result with the keyboard or mouse and HarborClient takes you there immediately.

Use / for commands

Start your query with a slash to enter command mode. HarborClient shows matching commands as you type.

Type / to switch into Commands mode for AI and chat-oriented actions.

The first slash command is /ask. Type a question after the keyword and press Enter:

/ask How do I set up OAuth2 client credentials?

HarborClient opens Agent Chat, starts a new conversation, and sends your prompt — without leaving the flow you were already in. You need an AI provider configured in Settings before /ask can run.

Use # for quick-open actions

Start your query with # to filter the action catalog. This is a fast alternative to digging through menus.

Type # to browse Actions like View: Toggle Sidebar and Team Hub shortcuts.

Built-in actions are grouped the same way as the app menus:

  • File — New Request, New Collection, Save Request, Import, Sync Storage, Settings, Plugins, Themes, Snippets, Cookies
  • View — Toggle Sidebar, Agent Chat, Request/Response editors, and sidebar sections
  • Team — Team Hub, Accept Team Hub Invite, Sharing Keys, Join Shared Collection
  • Help — Getting Started, Check for Updates, Keyboard Shortcuts, About

Plugins can contribute their own actions too, so your quick-open list grows with your setup. Try #settings, #plugins, or #sync to see how fast it feels.

Why the rename?

Search Anything described the feature when it only searched. The palette now does more: unified search, slash commands, and one-keystroke access to menu actions. Actions menu is a better name for what it has become.

The placeholder in the input field says it all: Search anything… · Type / for commands · Type # for actions. One field, three modes — pick the one that matches what you need right now.
