 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.

15
16## File Finder
17
18Open any file in your project with {#kb file_finder::Toggle}. Type part of the filename or path to narrow results.
19
20## Project Search
21
22Search across all files with {#kb pane::DeploySearch}. Start typing in the search field to begin searching—results appear as you type.
23
24Results appear in a [multibuffer](./multibuffers.md), letting you edit matches in place.
25
26## Go to Definition
27
28Jump 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.
29
30## Go to Symbol
31
32- **Current file:** {#kb outline::Toggle} opens an outline of symbols in the active file
33- **Entire project:** {#kb project_symbols::Toggle} searches symbols across all files
34
35## Outline Panel
36
37The 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.

41## Tab Switcher
42
43Quickly 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.
