 6# Finding & Navigating
 7
 8Zed provides several ways to move around your codebase quickly. Here's an overview of the main navigation tools.
 9
10## Command Palette
11
12The 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.

16## Project Panel
17
18The Project Panel ({#kb project_panel::ToggleFocus}) shows a tree view of your workspace's files and directories. Browse, create, rename, move, and delete files without leaving the editor. It also surfaces git status and diagnostics at a glance.

21
22## File Finder
23
24Open any file in your project with {#kb file_finder::Toggle}. Type part of the filename or path to narrow results.
25
26## Project Search
27
28Search across all files with {#kb pane::DeploySearch}. Start typing in the search field to begin searching—results appear as you type.
29
30Results appear in a [multibuffer](./multibuffers.md), letting you edit matches in place.
31
32## Go to Definition
33
34Jump 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.
35
36## Go to Symbol
37
38- **Current file:** {#kb outline::Toggle} opens an outline of symbols in the active file
39- **Entire project:** {#kb project_symbols::Toggle} searches symbols across all files
40
41## Outline Panel
42
43The 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.

47## Tab Switcher
48
49Quickly 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.
