Command Palette: Admin Power User feature is now in Core Code (v1.1.0.8)
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2026 10:04 am
This new feature is an input box in the secondary hMenu that allows shopowner to teleport around their site rather than dig through menus. EG, to get to admin/orders.php just type;
Ctrl+K go to orders [return]
The usual menu system still works -> click the "credit card" in the primary hMenu, click "orders" in the dropdown.
The idea is simple: if you know what you want to do, just type it rather than navigating to it.

V1 - Teleporting
V1 is the “take me there” version.
The Command Palette understands commands that ultimately result in navigation to an existing admin page.
Examples:
go to customers
go to reviews
go to orders
...
V1 is essentially a universal admin navigation layer sitting above the existing admin. More commands will appear as we learn what shopowners want/need.

Depending on uptake and interest (and a lot more shopowners supporting phoenix);
V2 - Doing things
V2 will turn the Command Palette into an admin command interface rather than just a navigation system.
The command can actually perform an operation. For example:
update product 123 price 19.99
set product 123 stock 50
disable product 123
send queued
...

The Command Palette is part of v1.1.0.8, but you can easily grab the code from Github and try it on your shop.

This feature has been developed in the Code Co-op, TY to everyone who got involved in the 7 pages of ideas and discussions.
