# Available Commands Window

The Available Commands window lists the commands you can say at any moment. When the Available Commands window is showing, it floats over all applications.

The list of commands displayed in the Available Commands window changes automatically depending on what mode you’re in, what application is frontmost, and whether the Recognition window is open. The availability of some global commands and the order in which commands are displayed depends on your settings in the Command Preferences pane.

To show the Available Commands window:

- Say Show Available Commands Window.

- Choose Window > Show Available Commands.

- Choose Show Available Commands from the Dock menu.

The Available Commands window will automatically appear when you start up Dragon Dictate if it was showing when Dragon Dictate was quit previously.

Scroll through the window, or use the search field, to discover commands.

> If there is text in the search field, the list of commands is filtered to display only commands containing that text. To be certain that all commands are displayed, empty the search field; a quick way is to click in the search field and press Esc.

To issue a command:

- Say the command.

- For a global or application-based command, double-click the command’s name in the Available Commands window.

Hover the mouse over a command’s name in the Available Commands window to see a tooltip displaying its description.

To hide the Available Commands window:

- Say Hide Available Commands Window.

- Choose Window > Hide Available Commands.

- Choose Hide Available Commands from the Dock menu.

- Click the close button at the top left of the Available Commands window.
