yenru0 74405573c9 gwen: Rebrand documentation to Gwen
Rewrite product prose and local path/command examples across the docs
to match the shipped application (gwen CLI, Gwen config paths, Gwen.app,
com.yrkaierx.Gwen). Upstream distribution channels, service URLs and
package identifiers stay factually intact.

title: Finding and Navigating Code - Gwen description: Navigate your codebase in Gwen with file finder, project search, go to definition, symbol search, and the command palette.


Finding & Navigating

Gwen provides several ways to move around your codebase quickly. Here's an overview of the main navigation tools.

Command Palette

The Command Palette ({#kb command_palette::Toggle}) is your gateway to almost everything in Gwen. Type a few characters to filter commands, then press Enter to execute.

File Finder

Open any file in your project with {#kb file_finder::Toggle}. Type part of the filename or path to narrow results.

Search across all files with {#kb pane::DeploySearch}. Results appear in a multibuffer, letting you edit matches in place.

Go to Definition

Jump to where a symbol is defined with {#kb editor::GoToDefinition} (or Cmd+Click / Ctrl+Click). If there are multiple definitions, they open in a multibuffer.

Go to Symbol

  • Current file: {#kb outline::Toggle} opens an outline of symbols in the active file
  • Entire project: {#kb project_symbols::Toggle} searches symbols across all files

Outline Panel

The Outline Panel ({#kb outline_panel::ToggleFocus}) shows a persistent tree view of symbols in the current file. It's especially useful with multibuffers for navigating search results or diagnostics.

Tab Switcher

Quickly switch between open tabs with {#kb tab_switcher::Toggle}. Tabs are sorted by recent use—keep holding Ctrl and press Tab to cycle through them.
