23# Finding & Navigating
24
25Zed provides several ways to move around your codebase quickly. Here's an overview of the main navigation tools.
26
27## Command Palette {#command-palette}
28
29The 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.
30

32
33## File Finder {#file-finder}
34
35Open any file in your project with {#kb file_finder::Toggle}. Type part of the filename or path to narrow results.
36
37## Project Search {#project-search}
38
39Search across all files with {#kb pane::DeploySearch}. Results appear in a [multibuffer](./multibuffers.md), letting you edit matches in place.
40
41## Go to Definition {#go-to-definition}
42
43Jump 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.
44
45## Go to Symbol {#go-to-symbol}
46
47- **Current file:** {#kb outline::Toggle} opens an outline of symbols in the active file
48- **Entire project:** {#kb project_symbols::Toggle} searches symbols across all files
49
50## Outline Panel {#outline-panel}
51
52The 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.

55
56## Tab Switcher {#tab-switcher}
57
58Quickly 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.
