Finding anything with the ⌘K palette
The fastest way to open anything in DevStash isn't a click — it's ⌘K. The command palette is the front door to your whole stash: items, collections, every type, all from the keyboard.
Search across everything
The palette matches on content, titles, tags, and types at once. Half-remember a snippet but know it mentioned AbortController? Type it. Only recall you tagged something deploy? That works too. You don't have to know where a thing lives to find it.
Tricks that make it fast
- Search by intent — the words you'd think, not the exact title.
- Lean on tags as a fuzzy filter when the title escapes you.
- Hit
⌘K, type a few letters, and press Enter — the top result is usually the one you meant.
If it takes longer to find a snippet than to rewrite it, the tool has failed. The palette exists so retrieval always wins.
Give it a week and the palette becomes muscle memory. You stop browsing for things and start summoning them.
