Keyboard & shortcuts
The command palette, movement and navigation shortcuts, quick actions, and theming.
The command palette
Kanso is built to be driven from the keyboard. The command palette is the fastest way to get anywhere.
Open it anywhere
Press ⌘+K (or Ctrl+K) to jump to any page, run a page action, search your conversations and contacts live, and apply inbox filters — all without touching the mouse.
Moving around
Navigate the list and threads without leaving the home row.

| J | Move down the list |
| K | Move up the list |

| Enter | Open the selected conversation |

Theming & the product tour
Kanso ships light, dark, and system themes — every surface uses theme tokens, so it follows your OS automatically or whatever you pick. And if you ever want a refresher, the first-run product tour can be relaunched from anywhere.
Prefer the mouse? Everything a shortcut does is also a click away — the shortcuts just make the common moves faster.
