Two ways to find a market, and one keyboard shortcut.

​
The command palette

Press ⌘K — or Ctrl+K — anywhere in the terminal. A search box opens over whatever you were looking at.
1

Type part of a market's name

Results appear as you type, up to eight at a time. Each one shows the event image, its title and the current Yes price of its first market.
2

Pick one

Use the up and down arrows to move through the list and Enter to open the highlighted result, or just click it.
3

Or back out

Escape closes the palette and leaves you where you were. ⌘K closes it too.
The palette goes straight to a market page. It does not search wallets, orders or settings. The search box in the top bar does the same search, but it changes the page under you: type in it and the Markets page reloads showing your results. It fires shortly after you stop typing rather than on Enter. Because the query lives in the address bar, a search is a link you can bookmark or share. Clearing the box takes you back to the unfiltered Markets page, and switching to the Crypto category clears it for you.
The palette is the better tool when you know what you are looking for and want to land on it. The search box is better when you want to browse what came back.

​
The theme shortcut

Press d to switch between light and dark. It is ignored while you are typing — in a text box, a text area, or anything else editable — so a d in the market search stays a d. Holding Command, Control or Alt skips it, and holding the key down does not flip the theme over and over. The guard covers text entry only. Ballista’s dropdowns are custom controls rather than native ones, so d still fires while one of them has focus. If you are on the system setting, d moves you off it to the opposite of whatever your system currently is, so one press always changes what you see.
The sun/moon button in the top bar is not quite the same control. It reads the setting rather than the theme on screen, so if you are on the system setting with a dark system, the first click sets “dark” — what you were already looking at — and nothing appears to happen. Click it again to reach light, or use d, which resolves your system theme first.

​
Looking up a wallet

Addresses are not in the palette. To open a trader’s profile from an address you already have, use the Look up a wallet box on the Leaderboard — it works for any wallet that has traded, on the board or not.

Markets

Where the search box and the palette both land you.

A market page

The chart, the book, and the tabs under them.
