Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Actual powerusers may want the option to perform as many functions as possible from the keyboard. I believe Actual still has a long way to go before accomplishing this, but a command bar would be supremely helpful for navigation & action purposes. For example:

  • Search all transactions
  • Search transactions within a specific acct
  • Create new acct
  • Create new transaction
  • Quickly jump between accounts
  • Quickly jump between navbar items (Budgets, Reports, etc)

are all actions which could be performed from a command bar.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

A command bar (invoked with the keyboard shortcut ctrl/cmd+k), would offer many shortcuts and quick actions for the user to perform. There are several open source libraries out there, such as https://github.com/pacocoursey/cmdk, which has a direct React integration.
