Search and shortcuts
Find conversations, clients and invoices with ⌘K, and the keys that make Sydbar faster.
Search
Press ⌘K (Ctrl K on Windows) on desktop, or tap the magnifier on a phone. Search finds:
- conversations, by subject or words in the emails;
- clients, by name or address;
- invoices, by number.
In one business you see up to 8 conversations, 5 clients and 5 invoices. On All inboxes it searches every business and labels each result with its business. Use ↑ ↓ to move, Enter to open, Esc to close.
