Command Groups

As your command library grows, finding the right command can become overwhelming. Command Groups let you organize commands into emoji-labeled folders for quick access.

What are Command Groups?​

Command Groups are visual sections for organizing your commands in the card view. A group has a name, an optional emoji icon, an optional color, a sort order, and a collapsed/expanded state — all purely for UI organization. Groups are separate from Spaces: a group organizes where a command appears, while a Space provides data context to a command.

A command belongs to at most one group. Commands without a group appear in an automatic Ungrouped section.

Benefits of Using Groups​

  1. Faster navigation — jump straight to related commands.
  2. Reduced clutter — keep rarely-used commands tucked into a group.
  3. Logical organization — separate work, personal, and project-specific commands.
  4. Custom ordering — both groups and the commands inside them are drag-reorderable.

Creating a Command Group​

  1. Open the Dashboard → Commands.
  2. Click Manage Groups (folder icon), then New Group.
  3. Enter a Name (max 100 chars), e.g., "Email Tools".
  4. Optionally pick an Emoji Icon and a Color (hex #RRGGBB) for the section header.
  5. Save.

The Manage Groups panel — a reorderable list of groups with emoji, command counts, and edit/delete, plus a New Group form

Assigning Commands to Groups​

Method 1 — During creation: pick a group from the Group dropdown in the command editor.

Method 2 — Editing an existing command: open the command, change its Group field, and save.

Method 3 — Right-click: right-click a command → Move to Group → choose the target group.

Method 4 — Drag and drop: drag a command card onto a group's header to move it.

Reordering and Managing Groups​

Both groups and commands have a stored sort order, so your arrangement persists between sessions.

  • Reorder groups — drag a group header up or down. The new order is saved.
  • Reorder commands within a group — drag command cards to rearrange them; each command remembers its position in the group.
  • Rename / change icon or color — open the group from Manage Groups and edit it.
  • Collapse / expand — click the header arrow. The collapsed state is remembered per group.
  • Delete a group — removes the section; its commands are not deleted, they move to Ungrouped.

Groups in the Quick-Access Overlay​

When you trigger Rephlo over selected text, groups appear as submenus in the command overlay, with your favorites surfaced at the top for one-click access.

The command overlay — favorites at the top, grouped commands, and a search box

Tips for Effective Grouping​

  1. Keep groups small — 5-10 commands per group is comfortable.
  2. Use clear names — "Email" beats "Misc Writing Stuff".
  3. Lean on favorites — don't over-group your daily drivers; star them instead.
  4. Archive instead of hoarding — for commands you've outgrown, archive them rather than parking them in a junk group.
