Separators clarify boundaries—visual dividers create hierarchy. This React grouped combobox uses CommandSeparator between groups creating horizontal lines distinguishing Primary, Secondary, and Other navigation categories. Built with shadcn/ui Command and Popover featuring unlabeled groups with separator dividers that create clear visual sections without text headings. The separator pattern emphasizes group boundaries—perfect for priority-based organization, action tiers, navigation levels, or anywhere visual separation trumps text labels helping users understand content priority through position and spacing alone.
