The sidebar

The sidebar lists every table you have access to and lets you switch between them. It’s open by default; toggle it with Cmd + . to give the table more room.
  • Switch tables — click any table in the list. The active one is highlighted.
  • Create a table — click the add button, or press Cmd + ;. Hizura switches to the new table automatically.
You can switch tables freely while a run is going — it carries on in the background, and keeps going even if you reload or close the tab. What you can’t do is start a second run before the first finishes.

Keyboard shortcuts

All shortcuts use Cmd on Mac and Ctrl on Windows/Linux. Press Cmd + / at any time to see this list in the app.

Slash commands

Type / in the input field to open the command menu. Commands act on the table you’re looking at. Which commands are offered depends on what you’re looking at — /pipelineViewCols only makes sense with a board open, for example. Commands need edit access, so a read-only collaborator won’t be offered any. /urlUI and /summaryVisibility are display preferences, so they change your view only and leave your collaborators’ alone.

The input under your table

Once a table has results, the input beneath it does two jobs. It suggests a command that fits what you’re looking at — /urlUI in table view, /pipelineViewCols on a board whose cards show columns. Press to accept the suggestion: it’s typed in for you with its menu open, so you can run it or keep editing. You don’t have to use it that way, though. Type whatever you’d want to happen next, in plain words — no command syntax, no particular phrasing — and submit with Cmd + Enter. Commands run straight away. Everything else goes to the Hizura team, and the box replies Noted. Worth being straight about what that means: plain text doesn’t perform the action. It tells us what you were reaching for, which is how we decide what to build next. So the more specific you are, the more useful it is:
  • “Add a column for their pricing page”
  • “Re-run this list every month and only show me what’s new”
  • “Push these rows somewhere”
  • “Dedupe this against a list I already have”
  • “Let me edit the criteria and re-run without starting over”
Wrong guesses are the most useful thing you can type. If you expected a command that doesn’t exist, write it out — that tells us exactly where the product didn’t match what you had in mind.
To research something new right now, create another table with Cmd + ; rather than typing into an existing one.
