Keyboard

Arrows, Home, and End move focus; Enter or Space activates.

System support

Light and dark themes, logical RTL layout, reduced motion, responsive content, and forwarded public refs.

Prop contracts

`GummyCommandItemProps`

Composes Omit<React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>, "onSelect"> & { value: string; keywords?: string[]; disabled?: boolean; onSelect?: (value: string) => void; }

Troubleshooting

Check behavior before surface.

If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
If interaction differs, preserve this contract: Arrows, Home, and End move focus; Enter or Space activates.
If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: A labelled combobox controls a grouped listbox of action options.
If dark, RTL, or reduced-motion behavior is missing, verify the nearest theme, direction, and media-query boundaries rather than adding page-local overrides.

Implementation decisions

When to use Command

Use a command interface for experienced customers who need fast access to many named actions or destinations. It should complement, not replace, discoverable navigation. Results need clear grouping, unique labels, accurate keyboard hints, and safe handling for unavailable or destructive actions. Test no match, fuzzy match, repeated names, permission changes, focus restoration, escape, and mobile input before advertising the palette as a shortcut.
