Command.Group wraps a set of Command.Item components under a shared heading. When the user searches, the group — including its heading — is hidden if none of its items match. Groups are never unmounted; they are hidden using the hidden HTML attribute. 
import { Command } from 'cmdk'

export function CommandMenu() {
  return (
    <Command>
      <Command.Input />
      <Command.List>
        <Command.Group heading="Files">
          <Command.Item>index.tsx</Command.Item>
          <Command.Item>package.json</Command.Item>
        </Command.Group>
        <Command.Group heading="Settings">
          <Command.Item>Appearance</Command.Item>
          <Command.Item>Keyboard shortcuts</Command.Item>
        </Command.Group>
      </Command.List>
    </Command>
  )
}
Data attributes:
  • [cmdk-group] — always present on the group container
  • [cmdk-group-heading] — present on the heading element
  • hidden — applied to the group element when all its items are filtered out
Groups use the hidden HTML attribute rather than unmounting from the DOM when filtered. Keep this in mind when writing CSS — use [cmdk-group]:not([hidden]) to target only visible groups.

​
Props

​
heading
React.ReactNode
The heading content displayed above the group’s items. Rendered in a [cmdk-group-heading] element. Set aria-hidden automatically so it doesn’t interfere with listbox accessibility semantics.
​
value
string
A unique identifier for the group. Required when no heading is provided. If a heading is provided, the value is inferred from the heading’s text content. Used internally for sorting groups by their highest-scoring item.
​
forceMount
boolean
default:"false"
When true, the group and all of its items are always rendered regardless of the current search query. The hidden attribute is never applied. Also propagates to child Command.Item components.

​
Examples

​
Group with heading

<Command.Group heading="Recent">
  <Command.Item>home.tsx</Command.Item>
  <Command.Item>about.tsx</Command.Item>
</Command.Group>

​
Group without heading

When you omit the heading, provide a unique value so cmdk can track the group internally: 
<Command.Group value="ungrouped-actions">
  <Command.Item>Delete account</Command.Item>
  <Command.Item>Log out</Command.Item>
</Command.Group>

​
Styling visible groups

Because groups use hidden instead of unmounting, target only visible groups explicitly: 
[cmdk-group]:not([hidden]) + [cmdk-group]:not([hidden]) {
  border-top: 1px solid var(--border);
}

[cmdk-group-heading] {
  font-size: 0.75rem;
  font-weight: 500;
  color: var(--muted-foreground);
  padding: 4px 8px;
}

​
Always-visible group

Use forceMount to keep a group visible regardless of what the user is searching for: 
<Command.Group heading="Quick Actions" forceMount>
  <Command.Item>Open help</Command.Item>
  <Command.Item>Send feedback</Command.Item>
</Command.Group>
