Spotlight Enhancements

gabriel.diaz.arias Public · Nov 9 2021

Idea Summary
Spotlight search is a very nice addition as reduces a lot the time needed in the navigation during development. But it would be nice just being able to jump directly to specific menus, lovs, templates, themes, processes, global, app items, breadcrumbs, ords endpoints etc. Also having compatibility with the APP_ALIAS:PAGE_ALIAS search syntax would help, as when you have lots of apps you never remember those ids anymore.

Use Case
Improve further more direct access to common component editing.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Adding direct access to components, not just component types in the spotlight search.

This has been delivered in Oracle APEX 24.1!

    I would also like a way to go to a page without having to use app_id:page_id, so basically skipping the app ID part would save that much more time.  But I would like to echo the general sentiment here, spotlight search is great and a real time saver.

    There are some enhancements under review for spotlight search - this feedback is greatly appreciated and Gabriel's idea to jump directly to existing objects created by the users has been added for consideration.

    Note for Tony: you can directly go to a page number or page name if you're inside the same application. The app_id:page_id is intended for applications outside the current scope.

    But we are also considering some improvements related to providing faster and better navigation to pages.
