Combobox
Hotkey Open
A combobox that opens with a global hotkey: the shortcut hint is printed right on the trigger button, and the listener skips typing inside someone else's text field.
React + Tailwind, shadcn-compatible: press “Copy for AI” and your Cursor or Claude Code agent installs it with the shadcn CLI.
What you can change
- the list content through options and the field caption through label
- the placeholder through placeholder and the filter field hint through searchPlaceholder
- the shortcut key itself through triggerKey and its visible caption through hotkeyLabel
A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ
- How do I add Hotkey Open with Cursor or Claude Code?
- Press “Copy for AI” on this page and paste it into your agent's chat. The instruction contains the shadcn CLI install command, the dependencies and what to keep, so the agent installs this exact component instead of recreating a lookalike.
- What does Hotkey Open depend on?
- No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
- What can I change in Hotkey Open?
- Adapt: the list content through options and the field caption through label; the placeholder through placeholder and the filter field hint through searchPlaceholder; the shortcut key itself through triggerKey and its visible caption through hotkeyLabel. Keep as installed: the local --vibeui-combobox-028-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens; the check for a foreign text field before intercepting the shortcut — without it the hotkey breaks typing in any other form on the page; the visible shortcut hint in a <kbd> on the button itself, not in a tooltip: secret shortcuts go unused.
- Is Hotkey Open free?
- The preview is open to everyone; the source is available with a PRO subscription.

Technical notes
The component is self-contained: one file, no dependencies, its own --vibeui-combobox-028-* palette. Client component: a useEffect subscribes to document keydown and catches Ctrl or Cmd together with triggerKey; before it fires there is a check for whether focus is inside someone else's input, textarea or contenteditable — otherwise the shortcut would intercept typing in any third-party form on the page. A second useEffect moves focus into the filter field on opening, exactly as in the base variant with a trigger button. The shortcut hint sits in a <kbd> inside the trigger button itself — it is not hidden in a tooltip and does not require hovering. Escape closes the panel and returns focus to the button from anywhere, including the case where the panel was opened with the hotkey.
