Command with Separators for React

An inline command menu with recent files, folders and media split by separators.

Framework
UI library

Recent files, folders and media in three groups, with a line between each. Add separators when the headings alone don't break a long list up enough. The menu sits in the page, always open, with no trigger. In React, Base UI handles the keyboard navigation.

FAQ

How is this menu placed on the page?

Command has h-auto w-full max-w-lg rounded-lg border shadow-md: it sits in the page flow, up to a max width, with a border and a shadow. The list is always open and there is no trigger.

Where does the line between groups sit?

A CommandSeparator goes before every group but the first, so the lines fall after Recent and after Folders. Each group keeps its own heading: Recent, Folders and Media.

What does each file row contain?

Every CommandItem starts with a decorative icon, then a span for the name: Document.pdf, Photo.jpg, Projects, Documents, Video.mp4 and Song.mp3. The icons are File, Image, Folder (twice), Video and Music.

What appears when nothing matches the search?

CommandEmpty in the list says "No files found." It shows only when the search leaves nothing.

How do I run an item from this menu in React?

These items don't run anything yet. Pass onSelect to each CommandItem.

How do the keys work in this menu?

The arrow keys move through the items, Enter runs the highlighted one, and typing filters the list. CommandInput shows "Search files..." until someone types. Command filters and ranks the items by their text on its own.
