LinearCmdK [example] v1.0.0

Linear's Cmd+K palette opens as a centered modal at ~640px wide on a translucent dark overlay (#000 at 40% alpha + 8px backdrop-blur). The input is borderless 18px, and results are grouped under sticky section headers ('Issues', 'Projects', 'Navigation') with each item showing an icon, label, and right-aligned shortcut hint in #6E7178 monospace.

Aesthetic Notes

• Modal width: 640px max, ~70vh max-height; centered with top offset 15vh (not 50vh — palettes feel right above center).
• Background: #1C1D21 with 1px #2C2D33 border, 12px border-radius.
• Backdrop: rgba(0,0,0,0.4) + backdrop-filter: blur(8px) — desaturates the page below.
• Input: 48px tall, 18px text, no border, no background, with a 16px search icon prefix in #6E7178.
• Section header: 11px/600 uppercase #6E7178 letter-spacing 0.08em, sticky during scroll.
• Result row: 36px tall, 12px padding, hover/selected #2C2D33 with 4px left accent #5E6AD2.

What To Copy

• Position palette at top: 15vh, not vertically centered — matches eye's natural reading position.
• Group results under sticky headers; flat lists feel scattered above ~10 results.
• Right-align keyboard shortcuts in muted monospace — they're metadata, not primary content.
• Backdrop blur (8px) is the cheapest way to communicate 'modal mode' on dark UIs.

What To Skip

• The 'recent' section sometimes shows stale results from a previous session — clear on logout.

Demonstrates

• Top-15vh placement reads more naturally than center-50vh for command palettes.
• Backdrop blur is a strong 'mode shift' signal even at 8px.
• Sticky section headers solve the 'where am I' problem in long result lists.
