• Pressing ? will open the new Command palette.
• In the little overlay, a type-forward search allows you to find any available command to execute on the whole drawing or selection. The list of available commands is currently restricted to those commands that have already been converted to 'actions', as part of an ongoing effort. Additionally, it includes the option to import or open files from Inkscape's document usage history.
  • Some commands allow you to indicate parameters. A little keyboard icon will show you when the program expects a parameter (such as an angle for rotation, or a fraction for scaling). Note that the unit that is used for parameters is usually 'px', not the display unit. Some parameters require a specific format (like a comma-separated list of values for moving). The format is often indicated in the description of the command, e.g. to align selected objects to the last selected one's left side, find the 'align objects' command, then type 'left last'.
  • Some commands do nothing visible in the user interface (yet), as either
    • they only work in conjunction with other commands, such as commands that change how a file is exported, or commands that export the file. These need to be entered in order, e.g. export type ⯈ type 'png' ⯈ press Enter ⯈ press ? ⯈ export file name ⯈ type a file name ⯈ press Enter ⯈ press ? ⯈ export do ⯈ press Enter; export do in this example can also be used repeatedly to export the updated image to the same file name) or
    • they produce output on the command line (like commands asking for coordinates of objects), which you will only see if you have started Inkscape from the command line.
• Press Enter to execute any command.
• By pressing the ↑ (upwards arrow key), you enter the history mode, where you can choose between commands that you have already used.
• To close the palette, if not using any of the commands offered, you can press ? again, or just click on the canvas.
