Open Quickly ​

Open Quickly finds files, folders and headings. Press ⌘ShiftO on macOS or Ctrl+P on Windows and Linux, or choose File ▸ Open Quickly….

Open Quickly

Open Quickly searches by name and folder path, and letters don't need to be next to each other. With nothing typed, it shows your open documents, recent files and folders, and the current folder's files.

The chips at the top narrow the search. Tab and Shift+Tab move between them:

ChipSearches
AllEverything below
OpenedYour open tabs
RecentRecently opened files
FoldersRecent folders
FilesFiles in the open folder
Jump toHeadings in the current document

Under All, headings that match appear beneath the current document.

Preview ​

Move through the list with the arrow keys or the mouse, and a card beside it shows the item: a rendered document, text, an image, or the first few entries of a folder.

Actions ​

Press Mod+K, or click Actions in the footer, to see what you can do with the highlighted item. The list has its own search box. Press Mod+K or Esc to go back.

Which ones appear depends on the item: a heading has only Jump to heading, and only recent items can be removed from the list.
