Navigating [MyKinsta](https://my.kinsta.com) got a whole lot faster with the introduction of omni-search you can launch from the keyboard.

Pressing `CMD + K` on macOS or `CTRL + K` on Windows and Linux invokes the new omni-search command dialog. From there, you can navigate to any page within the MyKinsta interface, assisted by search functionality that filters available options in context with your current location within the menu tree.

Within the omni-search command dialog, keyboard junkies can take control of MyKinsta without reaching for the mouse, while two-fisted navigators can combine the two approaches.

Kristóf Dombi, Kinsta’s Head of Development Architecture and the creator of the new MyKinsta feature, says he’s not a keyboard dilettante but was inspired by the “Command Palette” with similar functionality introduced by [GitHub](https://kinsta.com/blog/github-statistics/).

“I’m not typically a heavy user of keyboard navigation, but ever since GitHub released its own command menu, I’ve started using it more and more,” Kristóf says. “I recently discovered how useful it is, and it occurred to me that we should implement something similar within MyKinsta.”

“Given our new branding, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.”

## MyKinsta omni-search in action

Here’s a quick video tour of the new feature:

When invoked, the omni-search interface provides a command prompt and a list of options available within the current menu context. You can use the keyboard’s arrow keys (or mouse) to choose options at that level or start typing at the command prompt to initiate a search filter.

Below, we’ve used the arrow keys to highlight the **Search WordPress Sites…** option and pressed the `Enter` key to reveal the available sites in this MyKinsta instance:

After selecting a website named **Auto Shop** and its **Live** environment, the command dialog serves up the menu options applicable to the current context:

When we begin typing at the command prompt, the menu options are filtered in real-time:

By pressing the `Delete` (macOS) or `Backspace` (Windows/Linux) keys within the command prompt, you can traverse back up the menu tree. You can use this technique to move above a company dashboard to access the **Companies** / **Account** level:

Kinsta’s Kristóf says the current incarnation of the omni-search feature is focused solely on navigation, “but there’s potential for additional features in the future.”

“We hope that this new feature proves to be valuable for our customers,” he says.
