Spotlight
Navigate Dockerman, run actions, and search resources with a single keystroke command palette.
Spotlight is Dockerman's command palette. One keystroke opens a searchable, keyboard-driven launcher that can navigate anywhere in the app, run common actions, and look up resources.
Open Spotlight
Press Cmd/Ctrl + K by default, or open Spotlight from the tray menu. Spotlight opens as a separate, frameless window while leaving the main Dockerman window open in the background.
Navigate to resources
Start typing a container name, image tag, Compose project, Kubernetes Pod, or Settings page. Results are ranked by usage and recency, and pressing Enter opens the selected result.
Quick actions
Use inline actions directly from the result list when Spotlight shows them.
- Containers: Start, Stop, Restart, Logs, Terminal, Backup, Diagnostic Bundle, Watch for Upgrades
- Images: Pull (re-pull), Scan with Trivy, Delete
- Compose stacks: Edit YAML, Diagnostic Bundle, Watch All Images
- Settings pages: jump directly
- Templates: Launch
- Homelab: Run to Compose converter, Notifications, Alerts
Search highlights
Matching characters are highlighted in each result as you type. Searches are fuzzy, so cntlog still matches "container logs".
Customize the shortcut
Change the Spotlight shortcut in Shortcut settings.
Tips
Spotlight runs in its own Tauri window so it can stay instant. Closing it does not close the main Dockerman window, and vice versa.
