What Does Elementor's Finder Tool Do?

Elementor's Finder tool providing quick keyboard-triggered search access to settings, templates and documentation

How to Access and Use It

The Finder opens with a keyboard shortcut (by default Ctrl+E on Windows/Linux or Cmd+E on Mac) from most areas of the WordPress admin, presenting a text field where typing filters through a combined list of Elementor settings pages, saved templates, popups, Theme Builder templates, and recently edited content. Selecting a result navigates directly there, skipping whatever menu path would otherwise be needed.

What It Can Search

  • Elementor settings pages, like general settings, the Experiments panel, or role manager, without remembering their exact menu location.
  • Saved templates and Theme Builder templates, letting you jump straight to editing a specific one by name.
  • Popups, useful once a site has accumulated several and locating a specific one by scrolling a list becomes tedious.
  • Documentation links, providing quick access to Elementor's own help resources for a specific feature.
  • Recently edited pages, speeding up returning to something worked on recently.

Using the Finder

  1. Press the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/Cmd+E) from the WordPress admin or editor.
  2. Type to filter the combined list down to the destination needed.
  3. Select a result to navigate there directly.
