kbar is a plug-n-play React component library that adds a fast, portable, and extensible command+k (command palette) interface to any website. It provides keyboard navigation, custom shortcuts, nested actions, history management, and built-in screen reader support with fully customizable components.

Use cases

  • add a cmd+k command palette to a React site
  • let users navigate a site via keyboard shortcuts
  • build a Spotlight-style search menu for web actions
  • register keyboard shortcuts for actions like opening docs or Twitter
  • create nested navigation menus with backspace history
  • make site actions accessible via screen readers

When to choose

  • you use React and want a polished command palette in minutes
  • you need high performance with tens of thousands of actions
  • you want customizable components with built-in animations and accessibility
  • you need keyboard shortcut registration and undo/redo history for actions

When to avoid

  • your site is not built with React
  • you need a full application launcher rather than a web command menu
  • you want a zero-JavaScript or framework-agnostic solution
