    Every key and view in the interactive launcher — the list and the fill-in form.

    Author reusable, parameterized command templates in plain TOML.

  • Template syntax

    How Commando remembers your values and ranks them by frecency.

  • Project commands

    Auto-detected make, npm, cargo, Gradle, just, compose, and git actions.
