## AI overview

This tutorial explains how to build a dependency-free Cmd+K command palette for a multi-page website using the dialog element, a keydown listener, and a text filter. It covers keyboard handling across Mac and Windows, browser-specific behavior, modal focus and scrolling, and use cases such as admin panels and documentation sites.

## Source excerpt

Linear and GitHub both have it. Build the same command palette with the dialog element, one keydown listener, and a filter. No libraries.
