Everything you type in Roxom Pro goes to the command line at the top left. **ENTER** is `
`: it runs what you typed.

  <video controls className="w-full aspect-video" src="/images/help-center/roxom-pro/videos/02-command-line.mp4">

When you click inside a window, that window receives your typing (for example, to search a list). Press <kbd>ESC, <kbd>&#96; or <kbd>⌘/<kbd>Ctrl + <kbd>K, or click outside it, to go back to the command line.

## What you can type

| You type | What happens |
|---|---|
| `MSTR` <kbd>ENTER | Loads MSTR into the focused window's link group: the chart, profile, news and ticket all switch to it. |
| `DES` <kbd>ENTER | Changes the focused window to that function. |
| `MSTR DES` <kbd>ENTER | Ticker and function in one line. Bloomberg-style suffixes are optional: `MSTR US Equity DES` works too. |
| `N bitcoin etf` <kbd>ENTER | A function with arguments: here, a news search. Other examples: `QM ADD NVDA`, `ALRT BTC-USD > 60000`. |
| `+GP` <kbd>ENTER or <kbd>⇧ + <kbd>ENTER | Opens the function in a **new** window instead of replacing the focused one. |
| `3` <kbd>ENTER | Picks item or tab 3 in the focused window. |
| `#2` <kbd>ENTER | Focuses window 2. |
| `BUY MSTR`, `SELL MSTR`, `TKT MSTR` | Opens the trade ticket for MSTR, with the side preset. |
| `LP` <kbd>ENTER | Opens the layout gallery. `LP MARKETS` opens a layout by name. See [Layouts](/help-center/roxom-pro/getting-started/layouts). |
| `MENU` | Shows every function in a table: code, name, description, group and aliases. |
| `HELP` or `?` | Shows commands and shortcuts. |
| `SET` | Opens Settings. |
| `DESK` / `CLASSIC` | Switches between the Desk and Classic front ends. |
| `ERR` | Reports a bug or contacts support. |

Most functions have aliases. `G`, `CHART` and `GP` all open the chart; `WEI` opens World Indexes (`INDX`). Type `MENU` to see every alias.

## Search with the palette

Press <kbd>&#96; or <kbd>⌘/<kbd>Ctrl + <kbd>K to open the search palette. As you type, it suggests:

- **Commands:** function codes and names.
- **Layouts:** built-in and saved layouts.
- **Instruments:** stocks, ETFs, crypto, indexes, bonds and more.
- **Institutions:** 13F funds (opens their portfolio).
- **People** and **News stories**.

Use <kbd>↑ <kbd>↓ to move, <kbd>TAB to fill the highlighted suggestion into the command line, and <kbd>ENTER to run it. Right-click an instrument for its ticker menu.

## Right-click any ticker

Right-click a ticker anywhere (a watchlist row, the ticker strip, a news headline) to:

- Load it in linked windows.
- Open its Description, Chart, Focus, Order Book, Filings or News in a new window.
- Add it to the Quote Monitor.
- Set a price alarm.
- Trade it.
- Open an options chain.
- Add it to, or move it in, the ticker strip.
