Get more done in Salesforce - list and search records, make new ones, create a task or login as on the fly!

This extension helps you get to any Salesforce page quickly. Just type in what you need to do!
Compatible with Lightning and Classic

Open the Navigator and
- Use the account merge tool by typing "Merge Accounts <optional Account ID>"
Call the Classic Account Merge from either interface using the Account you are on and the Salesforce ID in your clipboard or entered into the command box. You can use a tool like Salesforce CopyPasteGo (https://summerlin.co/copypastego) to easily grab the ID of a Salesforce record
- Add tasks on the fly by typing "! <your task>"
- Search all records with "? <search terms>"
- Go to your Home page with "Home"

- Go directly a Setup page by typing it's name
- Access Object customizations with "<Object> <Section>" (e.g. "Contact Fields")
- Switch between Lightning and Classic with "Toggle Lightning"
- Commands looking weird? Run "Refresh Metadata" to make sure you have what you need
- Login as another user with "Login as <partial match of username>"
- Toggle all checkboxes on the page for when subtracting from a selection is faster

########################################
8/14 - "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children" - Various; Hopefully finally got the Classic to Lightning translation right, added search limit settings, and first effort at having Navigator play well with other extensions, starting with Saleforce Inspector's Data Export feature

5/28 - Watch https://youtube.com/c/FDSignifire - Several fixes, added checkbox toggle, removed unused permission

9/11 - #justiceforbreonnataylor (182 days and counting) - Added the ability to call the Classic Account merge tool from an Account page. Be sure to have the ID of the Account you want to merge in your clipboard; added Lightning Record Page shortcut for custom objects

Super useful. However I switch between a mac and a PC and can never remember the shortcut because they are different for each.

While this extension is super useful, it's still got some kinks to fix. A lot of the links that come up redirect to classic which can be really frustrating because then I can't navigate back in the first place! In addition, some links that have changed (such as for flows) have not been updated for two releases now which is disappointing. Feels like it should be just a few quick fixes to repair this, but there haven't been any updates in ages.
