# Command palette reference

Almost everything Operon does has a command in Obsidian's command palette. Open the palette and type `Operon` to see them. This page lists the commands by purpose.

Many commands are **context-aware**: the same command behaves differently depending on where you run it, such as on selected text, an empty line, an inline task, a normal note, a file task, or a task view. The descriptions below note when that matters.

This page is the index. The action commands link to a dedicated page with their full behavior; the view and feature commands link to the feature they open.

> **MEDIA-DOCS-022-1:** The command palette filtered to Operon, showing the available commands.

## Create tasks

- [Create New Operon Task](/docs/docs-084-create-new-operon-task/): opens the full [Task Creator](/docs/docs-020-task-creator/). The safest starting point when you want Operon to guide you through the fields.
- [Create or edit inline task](/docs/docs-085-create-or-edit-inline-task/): context-aware. On an empty line it creates a task; on plain text or a checkbox it converts or upgrades the line; on an existing task it opens the [Task Editor](/docs/docs-021-task-editor/).
- [Create file task](/docs/docs-086-create-file-task/): creates a task that lives as its own note, optionally seeded from selected text or an inline task. See [File tasks](/docs/docs-013-file-tasks/).

## Edit and convert

- [Edit or convert to file task](/docs/docs-087-edit-or-convert-to-file-task/): edits the current file task, or converts a normal note into one.
- [Convert file task to inline task](/docs/docs-088-convert-file-task-to-inline-task/): collapses a file task back into a single inline task, then moves the old note to the Obsidian trash. See [Converting inline and file tasks](/docs/docs-019-converting-inline-and-file-tasks/).
- **Convert Tasks emoji line to inline task**: migrates a line written in the Obsidian Tasks emoji format into an Operon inline task. See [Obsidian Tasks migration](/docs/docs-049-obsidian-tasks-migration/).
- **Convert Selection to Operon Tasks**: turns several selected lines into tasks at once. See [Create tasks from selected text](/docs/docs-023-create-tasks-from-selected-text/).

## Find and move

- **Task Finder**: search and jump to any task across the vault. See [Task Finder](/docs/docs-027-task-finder/).
- [Move an inline task here](/docs/docs-089-move-an-inline-task-here/): picks a task with Task Finder and moves it to the current cursor line.
- [Add Task Wikilink Overlay](/docs/docs-104-add-task-wikilink-overlay/): picks a task with Task Finder and inserts a link to it at the cursor, which renders as a [Task Wikilink Overlay](/docs/docs-103-task-wikilink-overlay/).

## State and time

- [Toggle task completion](/docs/docs-090-toggle-task-completion/): completes or reopens the task at the cursor.
- **Start/stop time tracker**: starts or stops the timer on the task at the cursor. See [Time tracking](/docs/docs-034-time-tracking/).

## Open views and table embeds

- **Operon Filter View**: filtered, saved task lists. See [Filter View](/docs/docs-025-filter-view/).
- **Operon Calendar**: scheduled and timed tasks on a calendar. See [Calendar overview](/docs/docs-028-calendar-overview/).
- **Operon Kanban**: tasks as cards in workflow columns. See [Kanban overview](/docs/docs-030-kanban-overview/).
- **Operon Table**: tasks as rows and columns, like a spreadsheet. See [Table overview](/docs/docs-105-table-overview/).
- **Insert Operon Table embed**: inserts the default Table preset's `operon-table` code block at the cursor in the active Markdown editor, or replaces the current selection. See [Embed a table in a note](/docs/docs-110-embed-a-table-in-a-note/).
- **Toggle Pinned Tasks dock** / **Open Pinned Tasks**: the floating dock or the side panel of pinned tasks. See [Pinned Task Dock](/docs/docs-032-pinned-task-dock/).
- **Open Time Session History panel**: review and edit tracked sessions. See [Time session history](/docs/docs-053-time-session-history/).
- **Open FlowTime panel**: start a focused work session. See [FlowTime focus sessions](/docs/docs-035-flowtime-focus-sessions/).

## Maintenance

- [Rebuild full index](/docs/docs-091-rebuild-full-index/): re-scans the vault for tasks. Use it when tasks are missing or a file was edited outside Obsidian. See [Missing tasks](/docs/docs-054-missing-tasks/).
- **Reload Operon settings from storage**: reloads Operon settings from disk.
- [Show index stats](/docs/docs-092-show-index-stats/): a quick count of total, open, due-today, and overdue tasks.
- **Open duplicate operonId manager**: resolves tasks that share the same `operonId`. See [Duplicate IDs](/docs/docs-055-duplicate-ids/).
- **Repair Task Wikilink Overlay Links**: scans the vault and repairs stale inline `[[File#-operonId]]` links so their overlays resolve again. See [Task Wikilink Overlay](/docs/docs-103-task-wikilink-overlay/).
- **Update External Calendars**: refreshes configured external calendar sources. See [External calendars](/docs/docs-048-external-calendars/).
