# Understanding the Command Bar

The shortcut to open up your **UL Command Bar** is <mark style="color:green;">**command+space**</mark> *(mac)* or <mark style="color:green;">**ctrl+space**</mark> *(pc)*

## Command Bar Basics (from left to right)

Under the input (where you type after opening up the **UL Command Bar**), we have <mark style="color:green;">**Icon**</mark>, <mark style="color:green;">**Application Name**</mark>, <mark style="color:green;">**Action**</mark>, and <mark style="color:green;">**Shortcuts**</mark> to execute **Action .**

### What do these mean?

* <mark style="color:green;">**Icon**</mark>
  * An image that represents the application or shortcut
* <mark style="color:green;">**Application Name**</mark>
  * In the image, we typed **`no`**&#x20;
  * This displayed two applications under the input
    * These applications live on my system (the guy writing this, yours may be different) and a UL Plugin for Notion
* <mark style="color:green;">**Action**</mark>
  * In the image, you can see if we click on those it will open the application or take us to the [UL Plugin page for Notion](https://universallauncher.com/plugins/notion).
* <mark style="color:green;">**Shortcuts**</mark> for executing
  * for PC/Windows this would be CTRL + 1 (or any other number)

### Why is it faded?

An application that is slightly faded, means you must install the plugin in order to use the shortcut. This can be done by clicking or pressing Command + 1 / CTRL + 1

### What does UL Plugin - \<Plugin Name> mean in the <mark style="color:green;">Action</mark>?

Anytime you see `UL Plugin - <Plugin Name>` this means if you perform this action, you will be taken directly to that specific plugin's page in your UL Application. Plugin pages will hold Guides that explain the plugin in more depth.
