When to use it

Where Command Menus earns its place

Reach for Command Menus

  • The app has more destinations and actions than a sidebar can hold
  • People are in the product daily and want to keep their hands on the keyboard
  • One query has to span kinds: files, people, settings and actions together
  • You need a jump-back-in surface showing the last things touched before anything is typed

Reach for something else

  • First-run or occasional users: a menu that must be summoned teaches nothing, so ship visible navigation and let this sit on top of it
  • One list of one kind is being narrowed: a search field over that list does it without adding a layer
  • Picking a value for a field: a combobox keeps the choice next to the thing it fills

Accessibility

06to keep

What the block ships with. Hold on to these as you make it yours.

  • Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
  • Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
  • More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
  • Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
  • Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
  • Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.
