Command Palette

A ready-made ⌘K command palette: one component you drop in, open with a keyboard shortcut, and fill with actions. Use it for global search, jump-to-page navigation, quick actions and power-user shortcuts in dashboards, admin panels, editors, docs sites and any app that has outgrown its nav bar. Common asks it answers: "command palette", "cmd+k menu", "ctrl+k search", "command menu", "quick switcher", "spotlight-style search", "raycast-style launcher", "jump to anything", "action launcher", "global search dialog", "cmdk alternative", "command palette without cmdk". shadcn/ui does ship command, and the difference is what you get handed: that one is nine primitives — Command, CommandDialog, CommandInput, CommandList, CommandGroup, CommandItem, CommandEmpty, CommandSeparator, CommandShortcut — wrapping the cmdk npm package and pulling in the dialog item, which you then assemble into a palette yourself. This is a single component that depends on nothing but lucide-react: no cmdk, no dialog, no assembly. It arrives with the parts that are otherwise left to you — recently used entries surfaced when the input is empty, fuzzy filtering that highlights the matched characters in each result, grouped sections, wrap-around arrow-key navigation, and an async source hook so results can come from your own endpoint instead of a hard-coded array. The fiddly part of a palette is not the list, it is the focus: opening it traps focus so Tab cannot wander into the page behind, closing it puts focus back on whatever the reader was on, and the highlighted row is exposed with combobox and listbox roles plus aria-activedescendant, so the active option is announced while the text cursor stays in the input where typing belongs. If you would rather not run search infrastructure, the exported pulldSearchSource helper points the same async source at pulld Search for hosted semantic results.
