Windows / Linux: Press Ctrl+K.
Mac: Press Cmd+K.
The Command Bar opens as a dialog with focus in the search field. You can start typing immediately. No need to click the Search button in the header. The shortcut is the fastest way.
You can also click the Search button in the header (center, often with a "Search" label and Cmd+K hint). Same bar, same behavior.
Press Escape or click outside the dialog to close it. Your last search or selection can appear in Recent next time.
In Step 3 we will search for anything (posts, users, menu items, commands).

In practice
Keyboard Everything — one shortcut to search and run. On this page, Open the Command Bar is covered in detail: what it looks like in the admin, the exact controls it exposes, and how it behaves when you use it day to day. Because open the command bar is part of the keyboard everything tutorial — a guided, step-by-step walk through a real FleekDash workflow — the settings you touch here interact with the rest of the feature; when in doubt, open the feature overview and follow the docs in order.
