Search & the command palette

Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) anywhere in the app to open the command palette — a single search box that finds your issues, projects, and comment bodies across the whole workspace, and doubles as a fast way to jump around and take common actions. Search is available on every plan.

What search covers

Type at least two characters and Hiveship searches three things in parallel, scoped to the workspace you're in:

  • Issues — matched on title and issue number, so typing part of a title or an identifier both work.
  • Projects — matched on name and prefix.
  • Comments — matched on the comment body. Comments don't have their own page, so a comment hit links to the issue it was posted on, with a short snippet of the matching text and the author's name.

Matching is case-insensitive substring matching — searching auth finds "Authentication", "OAuth", and "reauthorize" alike. Results from your Inbox / triage queue are deliberately excluded so unaccepted, unsorted items never clutter your results.

Result groups

The palette groups what it finds into clearly labelled sections:

  • Issues, Projects, and Comments — your live search matches. Comment rows read {prefix}-{number}: snippet with the author and parent-issue title underneath; selecting one opens the parent issue.
  • Navigate — quick jumps to workspace pages like Members, Agents, and Billing.
  • Actions — common commands such as creating a new project.

Keyboard-first

The palette is built to drive entirely from the keyboard:

  • Cmd+K / Ctrl+K to open from anywhere.
  • ↑ / ↓ to move the selection through results.
  • Enter to open the selected result or run the selected action.
  • Esc to close.

Open the palette with an empty box and it offers quick jumps and actions — the Navigate and Actions sections above — so you can get somewhere useful without typing at all. As you type, results update live: Hiveship waits a fraction of a second after you stop typing before querying, and keeps the previous results on screen while the next set loads, so the list never flickers.

Search from your AI client

The same search is available to AI agents over the MCP server: the search_issues tool returns matching issues and comment hits, with deep links back to each parent issue. So whether you're driving from the command palette or asking an agent in your IDE, you're searching the same workspace data.
