Because a palette is muscle memory. If two commands match equally well and their order changes between keystrokes, you learn nothing. Here the order is documented: match quality, then recency, then registration order — and deleting what you typed gives back exactly the list you started with, which is cmdk's most-reacted open bug.

It has no framework at all. There are React, Vue and Svelte entries and a web component, but the core is plain DOM — a <script type="module"> is enough.

The list is windowed, so a thousand commands cost what twenty do. Use `limit` if you want to cap what is drawn, and `search()` to bring in results from your server.

A bare letter never fires inside an input, textarea or contenteditable. Shortcuts with a modifier still work everywhere. Sequences like “g then p” wait 1.5 seconds for the second key.

Yes. register() returns a function that removes exactly what it added, `when()` hides a command while it does not apply, and disabled commands stay listed but greyed and unreachable by the keyboard.

Every value is a CSS variable, every part takes your own classes, icons and words are replaceable, and the stylesheet ships inside @layer devix so your rules win without !important.
