Command Center

The Command Center is the keyboard-first launcher for the editor. It opens as a floating panel and is the fastest way to move between assets, templates, search, layout, and studio actions.

[!NOTE] Open it with Cmd + K on macOS or Ctrl + K on Windows/Linux.

The top-level command list currently includes:

  • Open FlowPilot
  • Edit Flow DSL
  • Edit Mermaid Code
  • Assets
  • Search Nodes
  • Auto Layout
  • Start from Template
  • Design Systems

Playback Studio also appears when its rollout flag is enabled.

Use this to insert:

  • sticky notes
  • text blocks
  • sections
  • journey nodes
  • mind map nodes
  • architecture nodes
  • uploaded images
  • browser wireframes
  • mobile wireframes
  • provider-backed icons and cloud assets

The template browser supports search and category filtering. It is the fastest way to start from a known graph shape.

Search scans existing nodes on the current canvas so you can find and jump to content in large diagrams.

The layout view lets you run auto layout without leaving the keyboard workflow.

This view is used to manage reusable visual styling choices for the canvas.

Use the Command Center when:

  • you are working on a laptop and want minimal pointer travel
  • the canvas is crowded and the toolbar is slower than search
  • you want to switch directly into AI or code editing
  • you want to insert assets in batches

Treat the Command Center as the default launcher, not a secondary shortcut. In daily use it becomes the fastest path to most non-drag operations.

Don’t start from scratch. Access a library of pre-built diagrams:

  • AWS Architecture Patterns
  • User Journey Maps
  • Database Schemas
  • Organizational Charts

Access a library of assets to enhance your diagram:

  • Wireframes: Drag and drop low-fidelity UI components (Buttons, Inputs, Modals) to build quick mockups.
  • Icons: Search and insert any icon as a standalone node.

The text input in the Command Center is your direct line to our AI engine. Type what you want to build, and hitting Enter generates it instantly.

Quickly access utility functions:

  • Auto Layout: Re-organize the chaos.
  • Reset View: Jump back to center.
  • Format Code: Clean up your DSL.
