Shortcut Hint Bar

A row of shortcut hints for a bottom status bar: the key-action pairs never break across lines, because a split hint is useless.

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 bar alignment through align: start, center or between
  • the density through size: sm or md
  • the hint set through hints

A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ

How do I add Shortcut Hint Bar 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 Shortcut Hint Bar depend on?
No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
What can I change in Shortcut Hint Bar?
Adapt: the bar alignment through align: start, center or between; the density through size: sm or md; the hint set through hints. Keep as installed: the local --vibeui-kbd-004-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens; nowrap on the pair: a split hint like "↵ select" stops meaning anything; the absence of borders around pairs — with them the status bar reads as a button panel.
Is Shortcut Hint Bar free?
Yes. The preview is open without an account; with a free account you can copy up to 20 components a month.

Technical notes

A server component, there are no hooks. The bar is read peripherally, so the hints are separated by a gap alone: a border around each pair turns a utility line into a button panel. Every pair is marked white-space:nowrap, so when width runs short the bar wraps whole hints rather than tearing "↵ select" in half. The alignment is switched by the data-align attribute (start, center, between), the density by data-size. The keys are set with the kbd tag. The theme comes from the surrounding color-scheme through light-dark(): the component has no background by default, it sits directly on the page background and darkens with it, and a panel is switched on by the background prop.
