## What moves [#what-moves]

| When                                | What you see                             | Timing              | How       |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------- | --------- |
| Opens or closes                     | Grows from its trigger and returns to it | your theme's timing | Automatic |
| A checkbox or radio item is checked | Its tick draws itself                    | 150 ms              | Automatic |

The highlight follows your pointer and keys instantly.

## Install [#install]

Dropdown Menu is shadcn's own component. With `<Cuts />` in your root layout ([Quick start](/docs/installation)), there's nothing else to add:

```bash
npx shadcn add dropdown-menu
```

## Turn it off [#turn-it-off]

Put `data-cut="none"` on a dropdown menu (or anything around it) to keep shadcn's own motion there. `<Cuts responses="none" />` turns off every response across the app and keeps the cuts. With reduced motion, movement becomes a short fade or nothing.
