How to use Quick Command
Quick Command is Weft's single capture box: open it, type a sentence, press Enter. No form, no dropdown to pick a widget first. It figures out what you meant from what you typed.
Opening it
There are three ways in, depending on where your focus already is:
- 1Space, anywhere on the page. Needs one click on the dashboard first if the tab is brand new and nothing has focus yet.
- 2Ctrl+Shift+K (Cmd+Shift+K on Mac), a browser-level shortcut. It works even while the address bar has focus, though you still need to click or type once afterward, Chrome never lets a page steal keystrokes straight out of the omnibox.
- 3Typing oo followed by your text directly into the address bar. This is the only truly zero-click path: no switching focus to the page at all.
Plain text vs. a command
Type anything with no prefix and it becomes a task by default. Type / and a list of six commands appears, ranked by which you've used most recently:
- 1/task, /reminder, /note, and /checklist, all straightforward: type the content, press Enter.
- 2/job accepts a pasted job posting URL and tries to autofill the company and role before you finish typing.
- 3/link saves the current page, or a pasted URL, to your Links widget.
How reminders parse time
/reminder understands relative phrases like "tomorrow" and clock times like "@6pm" inline, no separate date picker. If you have prayer times set up, it also understands prayer names directly: "remind me for maghrib" resolves to that day's actual time. Add --ring to the end of a reminder to get an alarm instead of a quiet notification.
Honest limits
The parsing is pattern matching, not a language model: it recognizes specific keywords and formats, it doesn't understand arbitrary phrasing the way asking an AI assistant would. Before pressing Enter, check the preview chips that appear under the input, they show exactly what got parsed out (date, time, tags, priority), so a misread never surprises you after the fact. A prayer-name reminder also only resolves correctly if the Prayer widget already has times calculated for your location.
The rest of it
Quick Command is the fastest way into Weft, but it only ever creates or opens things, it doesn't replace the widgets themselves. Everything it captures shows up on the dashboard exactly like anything added by hand.
