Use the command palette

Click the centered address display or press Command-L. The same palette can resolve a web address, search query, open tab, saved page, history entry, other Space, or Crest command.

Read the results

The first row represents what Return will do with the text itself: open a resolved address or search with the current provider. Below it, Crest ranks live tabs, available commands, saved pages, history, and matches from other Spaces.

Selecting an existing tab avoids making a duplicate. Selecting a match in another Space switches the browser context as part of the action.

Run commands by name

Type a verb or feature name such as “archive,” “downloads,” “reader,” “split,” or “copy Markdown.” The palette uses the same command catalog as the Mac menus and shortcut settings, so an action remains discoverable even when it has no default key equivalent.

Use the arrow keys to change selection, Return to run it, and Escape to dismiss. On a touch device, tap the result.

Search behavior

Text that resolves as an HTTP or HTTPS address opens directly. Other text uses the selected search provider. Because the palette also searches current-Space history and saved content, a familiar page may appear above a new web search.
