Check icons hide when unselected—checkboxes stay visible. This React multi-select combobox uses Checkbox component from shadcn/ui instead of opacity-toggled Check icons making multi-select affordance explicit. Built with shadcn/ui Command and Popover featuring always-visible checkboxes with checked state binding. The checkbox pattern signals multi-selection capability—perfect for category filters, permission selectors, feature toggles, or anywhere users need clear visual indication that multiple selections are possible reducing confusion through familiar checkbox interface conventions.
