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
