# Finding & Navigating
|
|
|
|
Zed 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 Zed. Type a few characters to filter commands, then press Enter to execute.
|
|
|
|
[Learn more about the Command Palette →](./command-palette.md)
|
|
|
|
## File Finder
|
|
|
|
Open any file in your project with {#kb file_finder::Toggle}. Type part of the filename or path to narrow results.
|
|
|
|
## Project Search
|
|
|
|
Search across all files with {#kb pane::DeploySearch}. Start typing in the search field to begin searching—results appear as you type.
|
|
|
|
Results appear in a [multibuffer](./multibuffers.md), 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](./multibuffers.md) 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.
|
|
|
|
