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.

What commands are in this menu?

One CommandGroup with the heading Suggestions holds three CommandItems: Calendar, Search Emoji and Calculator. Each item's text is its only content.

Should this be a Command or a Combobox?

Use a Command to run an action or jump somewhere. Use a Combobox when the choice is a value that stays in a form field.

What appears when nothing matches the search?

CommandEmpty in the list says "No results 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 "Type a command or search..." until someone types. Command filters and ranks the items by their text on its own.
