How to Use the Action Bar to Reach Almost Anything

To use the action bar, press the shortcut and type what you want. It creates apps, tables, and automations, navigates to folders, clones apps, and downloads data — without hunting through menus.

Why menu hunting slows everyone down

The cost of not knowing where something lives is paid every single time you need it.

Remembering a click path instead of an action
An app you know exists but cannot find
A setting buried three levels deep
Building something manually because the shortcut was unknown

What the action bar can do

Action	What it does
Create	Apps, tables, automations, folders, tasks
Search	Finds an app or table when you only remember its name
Navigate	Jumps straight to a folder or area
Clone	Duplicates an existing app under a new name
Download	Exports data without navigating to the table first

How to use it in Jestor

Press Ctrl+K or Cmd+K anywhere in Jestor to open the action bar.
Type "create", then specify what — an app, a table, or an automation.
Name it, and it is created without returning to the main screen.
Search by name when you remember an app but not where it lives.
Use it to clone an app under a new name when you want a variant.

Why choose Jestor for fast navigation?

Jestor designed the action bar as the answer to being lost: rather than learning the click path for every action, you type what you want and it appears.

Automations created this way are saved and can then be attached to whichever table needs them, so the creation step never interrupts what you were doing.
