When to use it

Use the command menu for a ⌘K palette: jump to a page, run an action or search records from anywhere. useCommandShortcut opens it on ⌘K or Ctrl+K. Keywords let "team" find Members, and shortcuts are shown beside each item. The same parts work inline as Command, for a searchable panel inside a page.

Installation

How you get it

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.

Use Liro's Command Menu for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @liro/command
(the @liro registry is set up in components.json, with LIRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/command.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.

For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Free components install through the @liro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.

Usage

components/app-command-menu.tsx
"use client";

import { useRouter } from "next/navigation";
import { CommandGroup, CommandItem, CommandMenu, useCommandShortcut } from "@/components/ui/command";

export function AppCommandMenu() {
  const [open, setOpen] = useCommandShortcut();
  const router = useRouter();
  const go = (href: string) => {
    setOpen(false);
    router.push(href);
  };

  return (
    <CommandMenu open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
      <CommandGroup heading="Go to">
        <CommandItem onSelect={() => go("/")}>Overview</CommandItem>
        <CommandItem onSelect={() => go("/members")} keywords={["team", "people"]} shortcut="G M">
          Members
        </CommandItem>
        <CommandItem onSelect={() => go("/billing")} shortcut="G B">Billing</CommandItem>
      </CommandGroup>
    </CommandMenu>
  );
}

Props

Read from the component’s own TypeScript interface when the site is built, so this table cannot drift from the file you install.

Accessibility

  • Keyboard reachable throughout, in visual order
  • Focus trapped in overlays, Escape closes them
  • Focus returns to whatever opened it
  • Live regions announce what changed, not that something did
  • Honours prefers-reduced-motion

Responsive behavior

  • Sizes to its container, not the viewport
  • Usable from 320px up
  • Pointer-based interaction, so trackpad and touch both work
  • No hover-only affordances
