Three keystrokes instead of three windows.

Stop hunting through ribbons and the Windows taskbar. Every command, every open document and every project you come back to, one keystroke away.

01 · Command palette · Free

Press S. Type. Run.

A filterable command list appears right under your cursor — no ribbon hunting. It knows whether you are in a part, an assembly, a drawing or a sketch. Free forever, no account required.
