Use Shipmondo's command palette to navigate faster and create manual shipments with fewer clicks and smarter shortcuts.
When you work in Shipmondo every day, it is rarely one big task that steals your time. It is the many small actions along the way. Extra clicks. Switching between mouse and keyboard. A flow that can quickly be interrupted.
That is why Shipmondo’s command palette is worth knowing. It makes it both faster and easier to find functions, jump between fields, and work faster in the system.
What is Shipmondo’s command palette?
Shipmondo’s command palette is a tool with shortcuts to functions and actions in the platform. You open it with Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on Mac, and can then search for what you want to open or perform.
This gives you a faster way to work. Instead of clicking your way through menus and views, you can go directly to the action you need.
It is especially useful in workflows where the same steps are repeated many times throughout the day, such as when creating shipments manually.
But it may not sound like much to save a couple of clicks here and there. In practice, however, it is exactly these small improvements that make a system faster and more pleasant to work in over time.
If several employees work in Shipmondo every day, and manual shipping is a fixed part of operations, a workflow with fewer clicks and faster access to actions can help create better flow and less friction in everyday work.
The command palette is therefore not just a shortcut. It is a concrete tool for working faster in Shipmondo.
Why is the command palette worth using?
With the command palette, you can, among other things:
- Access functions faster
- Jump directly to relevant actions
- Keep your focus in one place
- Reduce unnecessary clicks in repetitive workflows
In other words, you save mouse clicks, navigate faster, and therefore work more efficiently.
Create manual shipments faster than ever
If you often create shipments manually, the command palette is an obvious place to start.
Manual shipping consists of several steps, where you work your way through the necessary information. Here, small shortcuts can make a big difference to the pace.
How to use the command palette in manual shipping
Open the command palette with Ctrl+K or Cmd+K, type “create”, and press Enter. Then you will go directly to Create shipment.
Once the first details about sender and recipient country, as well as carrier and shipping product, have been selected, you can open the command palette again and search directly for the action you want to go to.
You can, for example, type:
- “Receiver” to edit recipient details
- “Return” to change return details
- “Colli” to add a colli
This makes creating a manual shipment faster, because you can jump to the relevant actions along the way in the flow and do not need to leave the keyboard.
Several of the commands also have direct shortcuts. Read our guide to creating manual shipments to learn all the shortcuts by heart.
Create deliveries, start pick routes, and assign orders in order management
The command palette is also smart if you use our order management. Here, you often need to move on to the next action quickly.
Instead of clicking your way forward in the overview, you can open the command palette and search directly for what you want to do.
How to use the command palette in order management
Open the command palette with Ctrl+K or Cmd+K and search directly for the action you want to perform.
You can, for example, search for:
- “Start pick path”
- “Create fulfillments”
- “Assign”
This makes the workflow more direct, because you do not first have to find the right button in the view. You can simply search for the action and continue working. This is especially useful when you are working with many orders and want to keep the pace up.
More ways to use the command palette
The command palette is not only useful in individual workflows. It is also a faster way to navigate around Shipmondo in general.
Instead of clicking your way through menus and views, you can search directly for the page or action you want to go to. This makes it easier to move quickly between different parts of the system and keep your focus on the task.
This is especially an advantage during a busy workday, when employees often switch between, for example, shipments, order management, and other recurring functions in the platform, such as our analytics tool, shipment templates, integrations, or direct top-up of your balance.
A small feature that makes a big difference in everyday work
Shipmondo’s command palette is a good example of a feature that does not necessarily take up much space in the interface, but can have great significance in practice.
The fewer minutes you spend finding your way around, the easier it becomes to work efficiently in Shipmondo.
