Frequently asked questions about the Command Palette (⌘K Search Modal)

How do I add a Command Palette (⌘K Search Modal) to my website?+

Copy the source code from the "Copy code" button above and save it as a .tsx file in your components folder.

Every prop is optional and typed.

Can I use the Command Palette (⌘K Search Modal) with Claude Code, Cursor, or Lovable?+

Yes. Each prompt tab above is tuned specifically for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable, Replit, and Google Stitch. Paste the prompt into whichever AI coding tool you are using and it will generate a Command Palette (⌘K Search Modal) matched to your existing file structure, design tokens, and brand color.

How do I customise the command-palette design and colors?+

The Command Palette (⌘K Search Modal) uses Tailwind utility classes throughout, so every color, spacing value, and font weight is one class away from changing. Replace any color class with your brand token (for example, swap `bg-black` for `bg-[#your-hex]`). To change the animation timing, update the `duration-` or `delay-` classes, or pass new values into the Framer Motion `transition` prop if the component uses it. For a full brand restyle, paste the component into Claude Code or Cursor and describe your design system.

Does the Command Palette (⌘K Search Modal) work with TypeScript?+
