Quick Access Menu
Quick Access Menu is a powerful tool integrated with your Salesforce org which helps you quickly view your metadata directly from your org. Every part of the Quick Access Menu is linked together with Maven Tools, meaning you can inspect the metadata further in just a few clicks.
¶ Quick Access Menu Usage
Every open Salesforce tab in your browser will have the Quick Access Menu overlay displayed. You can drag the overlay around the page by pressing and holding it, but the overlay will always stick to one of the four edges of the page. Overlay position is always saved to where you last moved it.
To open the menu, simply press on the magnifying glass icon in the overlay.
Quick Access Menu comes equipped with a set of simple keyboard shortcuts to make your experience better!
- Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + S - open or close Quick Access Menu
- Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + X - hide or display Quick Access Menu
- Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P - change the position of Quick Access Menu
If you're using Windows, press Ctrl instead of Command.
Some shortcuts on Windows (and other operating systems) may not work due to other applications and extensions already using that keyboard combination. Follow the steps below to change/reset your shortcuts.
¶ Modifying shortcuts
- From your browser, click on the Extensions icon (puzzle) the top right (
). Click Manage Extensions. - From the Extensions page, click on the hamburger icon in the top left corner. Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
- In the Maven Tools for Salesforce extenstion tab, click on the pencil icon next to a shortcut you want to edit. Press and release the keyboard combination you want to use for that specific functionality. You can see the default shortcuts in the picture below.
¶ Introducing Quick Access Menu
Quick Access Menu is integrated into your Salesforce org, and you can open it by clicking on the magnifying glass icon. Let's see what Quick Access Menu offers you to do:
- Search bar: By default, searching will return results from all available metadata types. You can filter the results by changing what metadata you want to show from the dropdown menu next to the search bar.
- Search results: Clicking on any search result opens it's info-card, where you can view it in more detail. Each metadata type has a different info-card. You can read more about that in the "Metadata types" section on this page.
- Org information: The bar at the bottom includes information about your org, as well as the Maven Tools version in the bottom right.
- Refresh metadata: By clicking on this button, Quick Access Menu will pull all metadata from your org again, meaning you don't have to refresh your browser page in order to view updated metadata.
¶ Metadata types
