Using the command bar
Open the command bar with ⌘K to search your resumes and applications, jump to any page, change theme or language, or ask the assistant a question.
The command bar is a search box that runs commands. Use it to open a resume or application by name, jump to any page, switch the theme or language, or send a question straight to the assistant, without reaching for the mouse.
Open the command bar
Press ⌘ K on a Mac or Ctrl K on Windows and Linux. It works on every page, including inside the editor. On Documents, Applications and Settings, you can also select Search or run… at the top of the sidebar.
To close it, press Esc or press ⌘ K again.
Run a command
Type what you're looking for
Start typing to filter the list. For example, type "theme" to find Change theme to…, or "trash" to find Trash.
Pick a row
Use ↑ and ↓ to move, then press Enter, or select the row with the mouse.
Start over if you need to
Some rows open a second list, such as your resumes or the list of languages. To get back to the first list, press Esc to close the command bar, then open it again.
What you can do
The command bar groups its rows by what they do. Rows that need an account appear or become available once you're signed in.
Search for…
| Row | What it does |
|---|---|
| Resumes | Lists your resumes, most recently edited first. Type to filter by name, then press Enter to open one in the editor. The first row, Create a new resume, opens the New document dialog. |

Ask the assistant
When you're signed in, anything you type also appears as a last row: Ask the assistant "…", with your text in the quotes. Choosing it sends your text to the assistant.
- In the editor, the question is about the document you have open. The assistant panel opens and sends it.
- Anywhere else, Hireway opens the document you edited most recently, opens the assistant and sends your question there. If you don't have any documents yet, it asks you to create a resume first.
The assistant needs an AI provider. If you haven't connected one, the assistant panel helps you set one up first. See Connecting an AI provider.
