Embodiments of the invention provide for keyboard command and control in a customer relationship management (CRM) system. A method for keyboard command and control in a CRM system includes detecting a pre-determined combination of keyboard strokes occurring in a user interface of a CRM application and in response, a global search window is displayed. Thereafter, a sequence of textual characters are received into a text input control of the window and for each received character, a reference to one or more data objects at least partially matching the received character and stored in connection with the CRM application are located. For each located object, a corresponding program module of the CRM application is determined and each located reference is aggregated with an icon for a corresponding one of the program modules. Finally, the aggregated reference and icon are displayed as an activatable entry in a result set in the window.
