Via AI Assistant#

Ask your AI assistant:

  • "Apply the Bootspring command palette pattern to my project"

Key Considerations#

  • Use Cmd+K (Mac) / Ctrl+K (Windows) as the standard keyboard trigger
  • Display keyboard hints (Enter to select, Escape to close) for discoverability
  • Debounce search input to prevent excessive API calls during typing
  • Group related commands by category for better scannability
  • Track and display recent items to help users quickly repeat actions
