Finding a specific saved run, connection, or settings page through a conventional sidebar takes longer than the task itself. Ask Darpan makes navigation a search problem: type what you want, select it, and you are there.

​
Open Ask Darpan

Use either entry point:
  • Press Cmd/Ctrl+K.
  • Click the floating Ask Darpan button.
Then type a destination, record name, host, run name, or output file name.

​
Select a result

  1. Type your search.
  2. Use Up/Down to move through results.
  3. Press Enter to open the selected result.
  4. Press Escape to close Ask Darpan.
Inside a workflow, Escape can return you to the surface that launched the workflow.

​
What Ask Darpan can find

Ask Darpan searches app destinations and selected records. The table below shows what it covers and what to search for each destination.

​
Search behavior

Search can match labels, descriptions, aliases, prefixes, and close spelling variations.
If a saved record does not appear at first, search by the record name, host, run name, or output file name.

​
Run a command instead of navigating

Most of what you type in Ask Darpan takes you somewhere. Some things are not a destination at all — switching tenant does not have a page to land on, it is something you want done. Those are commands, and they start with /. Type / and Ask Darpan switches from searching destinations to listing commands.

​
How the two modes read

The first space is what separates choosing a command from filling in its argument. Tab completes the highlighted row in either mode. Outside command mode, and whenever you hold Shift, Tab stays the browser’s own focus key. When a command has nothing to offer, Ask Darpan answers rather than showing an empty list — Already on Gorjana. is a useful reply where generic no-results copy would read as though the tenant did not exist. These replies are not selectable rows, so Up/Down keeps moving through things you can actually run.

​
/switch-tenant

Changes the active tenant. Type /switch-tenant followed by the tenant name.
The active tenant is a server-side account preference, not a per-tab setting. Switching it re-points every other tab you have open, including ones you believe you left untouched. Darpan says so when the switch succeeds — it is the part that cannot be guessed from the screen in front of you.
Darpan distinguishes a switch the backend refused from one that never reached a verdict, and reports the outcome in the notice pill at the top of the screen. Opening a link that belongs to another tenant switches the active tenant to match, so the link resolves to the record it names rather than failing. Because that changes a setting shared by every tab, Darpan shows a banner saying which tenant you were moved into. The banner stays rather than fading — it describes a condition that is still true while you read it.
