// AUDIO_HAXOR — WALKTHROUGH

Open it

Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K). The palette is a modal overlay with a query input at the top and a scrollable list below. Type two characters or more to unlock the database preview rows; typing less shows only the static command list.

Navigation: ↑ / ↓ or j / k move selection, Enter executes, Esc closes. Every row shows its live keyboard binding on the right via paletteShortcutHintHtml() using formatKey() — so the palette is also an inline cheat sheet for your current keymap.

Row type — Tabs

The palette can jump to every tab in the app:

Plugins Tab          Cmd+1
Samples Tab          Cmd+2
DAW Projects Tab     Cmd+3
Presets Tab          Cmd+4
MIDI Tab             Cmd+5
PDF Tab              Cmd+6
Favorites Tab        Cmd+7
Notes Tab            Cmd+8
Tags Tab             Cmd+9
Files Tab            Cmd+0
History Tab          F3
Visualizer Tab       F4
Walkers Tab          F5
Audio Engine Tab     F6
Settings Tab         Cmd+,

Row type — Actions

Every action you can trigger from menus, header buttons, or shortcuts is listed here. The v1.28.14 audit added the per-tab stops / imports / exports, the player track actions, and the resets so every data-action attribute in index.html that maps to a discrete invocable verb is now reachable from the palette (form inputs, sliders, and modal-internal buttons are intentionally excluded). Highlights:

• Scan All · Stop All Scans · Reset All Scans
• Scan Plugins / Samples / DAW / Presets / PDFs / Videos / MIDI
• Stop Plugin Scan · Stop Audio Scan · Stop DAW Scan · Stop Preset Scan · Stop MIDI Scan · Stop PDF Scan · Stop Video Scan — per-scanner aborts (typed search "stop midi" lands the right one)
• Extract PDF Metadata · Stop PDF Metadata
• Build Fingerprint Cache · Find Duplicates · Build Plugin Index (Xref)
• Start BPM/Key/LUFS Analysis · Stop BPM/Key/LUFS Analysis

• Per-tab Export / Import (audio samples, DAW projects, plugins, presets, favorites, notes, recently played, MIDI, PDFs, videos) — typing "export plugins" or "import notes" lands the right command without switching tabs first.

Database preview — cross-tab search

With a query of length ≥ 2, the palette calls db_query_palette_preview({ query }), backed by fetchPaletteDatabaseItems() in frontend/js/command-palette.js (~line 50). One pooled Rust task runs six capped inventory queries in parallel and returns up to 5 hits per category:

• Plugins — name, type, manufacturer.
• Samples — name, format, size.
• DAW projects — name, DAW type, size.
• Presets — name, format.
• PDFs — name, size.
• MIDI — name, format, size.

Selecting a hit from the palette:

1. Switches to the correct tab.
2. Seeds that tab's search field with your query.
3. Triggers the tab's filter function.

So the palette is not only a command launcher — it's a full-library instant search that doesn't require you to be on the right tab first.

Why the palette stays in sync

Palette labels come from appFmt() (the i18n pipeline), so locale changes re-bind them instantly. Shortcut hints come from the live getShortcuts() snapshot, so rebinding a shortcut in Settings updates the palette hint without a reload. The static row list is cached; changing locale invalidates the cache and forces a rebuild on next open.
