Overall Search has been improved with a keyboard-first experience, making it faster and more convenient to use.
This is useful when:
you want to quickly find and open a document without using your mouse
you want to jump back to a recently edited document faster
you want to open documents side by side in split view for comparison
How to use
Open Global Search instantly with Ctrl/Cmd + K
Use the arrow keys (↑ ↓) to navigate search results and recent documents
2. Press Enter to open the selected document in the current view, or Cmd + Enter to open it in split view
If you do not type a search term, a list of recently opened documents by project will appear automatically
If you close and reopen the search window, your previous search term stays selected automatically, so you can start a new search right away
