Why

Cmd+K was a command list. Jump notebook / tag / heading were separate modes. Inkdrop Telescope is one bar: type a prefix, fuzzy-rank the source.

What

  • Prefixes in the same palette: > commands, b notebooks, t tags, # headings. Existing mode commands (Quick Open, Jump to Notebook, …) stay as aliases.
  • b work scopes to notebooks; typing blog does not.
  • Rank by subsequence (prefix hits first), not includes.
  • Esc clears a prefix before closing.

Independent of #522#525.

Test plan

  • Cmd+K, type b — notebooks. Type t — tags. Type # — headings. Type > — commands.
  • inb ranks Inbox. wo still does not match Weekly.
  • Esc with b foo in the box clears the query; Esc again closes.
  • Jump to Notebook (the old command) still opens scoped to notebooks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added scoped command palette searches for commands, notebooks, tags, and headings.
    • Added fuzzy matching that ranks relevant results, including non-contiguous matches.
    • Updated the search hint to show supported prefixes.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Escape-key behavior to clear active searches before closing the palette.
    • Improved filtering, accessibility text, rendering, and keyboard behavior for scoped searches.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The command palette now supports scoped prefixes for commands, notebooks, tags, and headings. It parses the query before filtering, ranks fuzzy matches, updates note search behavior, and uses parsed state for rendering and keyboard interactions.

Changes

Scoped palette search

Layer / File(s) Summary
Query parsing and fuzzy ranking
apps/desktop/src/renderer/utils/paletteQuery.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/utils/__tests__/paletteQuery.test.ts
Adds scoped query parsing and subsequence fuzzy scoring. Tests cover prefixes, fallback sources, ranking, and rejected matches.
Palette source integration
apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/CommandPalette.tsx
Uses the parsed source and needle for commands, notes, notebooks, tags, headings, note loading, debounce dependencies, and command rendering.
Palette interaction state
apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/CommandPalette.tsx
Updates Escape handling, labels, accessibility text, and placeholders to use parsed query state.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0e104

The palette may occasionally rank a very long heading below a shorter substring match instead of honoring prefix-first ordering. The PR is otherwise mergeable with owner follow-up to separate match priority from length scoring and add a long-heading regression test.

- Around line 47-49: Update the scoring logic in paletteQuery.ts around the
substring and prefix score calculation to use non-overlapping match-kind tiers,
ensuring any prefix match ranks above substring matches regardless of label
length while preserving within-tier ranking. Add a regression case in
apps/desktop/src/renderer/utils/__tests__/paletteQuery.test.ts lines 54-65
covering a long prefix label versus a short non-prefix substring and asserting
the prefix ranks first.

## Why

A full-width editor makes lines too long to scan. Inkdrop’s Readable
line length caps the column.

## What

- Settings → Editor → Readable Line Length (off by default).
- Editor scroller and preview shell max-width 46rem, centered. Fence
copy chrome stays in the column.

Independent of #522#526.

## Test plan

- [ ] Toggle on: editor and preview become a centered column.
- [ ] Toggle off: they fill the pane again.
- [ ] Copy-code on a fence still sits on the fence, not off to the side.
Cmd+K stayed a command list. Prefixes (> b t #) switch source in
the same bar, and rank by subsequence instead of includes.

A heading longer than ~800 chars scored below a short substring hit.
Tier prefix/substring/fuzzy so match kind beats length.
