Use the command palette

Click the address display or press Command-L. The same palette can resolve a web address, search query, open tab, saved page, history entry, 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 tabs, available commands, saved pages, and history from the current Space.

Selecting an existing tab avoids making a duplicate. Switch Spaces first to search another Space’s tabs and history.

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.

As you type a website address, local autocomplete can complete matching addresses from the current Space. Search suggestions from your chosen provider are optional and separate from local tab and history matches.
