Hi developers,
Have you ever found yourself in a tense standoff with cattle rustlers where you need instant access to a script or instance in your DataModel? Well then, have we got a feature for you! Available today, the Quick Open tool provides instant search through all instances in your place.
The Quick Open modal can be accessed with the Cmd+P (Mac) / Ctrl+P (Windows) hotkey or under the Find menu on the toolbar. This opens a modal that enables search through all instances with some neat features:
- Typing any character into the modal shows results with the matched part in bold
- Pressing Down selects an item and Enter opens it. You can also use the mouse
- Opening a script opens it in the Script Editor
- Other instances are highlighted in the datamodel
- Recent items are floated to the top of the list
- You can search by instance name or path name
- You can optionally respect case, only search scripts or use space as a wildcard character
- In particularly thorny situations, you can even search using regular expressions!
Pressing Esc or clicking outside of the modal closes it.
None of this wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible work of @MetalMax2, @CaptainShipIt, and @windy0724!
Please let us know what you think!
EDIT (03/23/20): Quick Open now supports searching native Studio actions and PluginActions. Using Cmd+Alt+P (Mac) / Ctrl+Alt+P (Windows) or inserting a “>” at the beginning of your search will enable this functionality.
