# Press ⌘K, go anywhere

Bookmarks, recent folders and open tabs, found by a few letters of their name. Paste an address and you're connected. ⌘G sends the marked files wherever you pick.

- **Fuzzy by name:** Type “stag” for Staging or “ass” for Assets: bookmarks, recent folders and open tabs all answer.
- **Paste to connect:** Paste an `sftp://`, `ftp://`, `ftps://`, `s3://`, `dav://` or `davs://` address to connect to it.
- **Open it where you want:** ↩ opens in this pane, ⌘↩ in the other, ⇧↩ in a new tab, and ⌥↩ saves a bookmark and opens it.
- **Copy to anywhere:** **⌘G** copies the marked files to the place you pick, **⌥⌘G** moves them, without opening it first.

## Questions, answered

### What can I search for?

Your bookmarks, recently visited folders on any server and the tabs you have open, by a few letters of their name.

### Can I connect to a server that isn't a bookmark?

Yes. Paste its address, such as `sftp://user@example.com/var/www` or `s3://bucket/folder`, and press ↩. ⌥↩ saves it as a bookmark too.
