Add Page Navigation drop down/selector found on individual APEX pages to App Builder App main page

Idea Summary
Each APEX application page in Application Builder has a Page Navigation drop down that allows either entering a Page Number directly or selecting a Page from the Page drop down that includes each page name.  Then click Go to be taken to the selected Page.

Add this same navigation drop down to the Application's main page (where Shared Components, Import, Utilities, etc. is available).

Use Case
Presently, to navigate directly to a page the page number or a search term has to be entered in the search box, click go, and then click on the page from the list.  If not sure of the page number, then you have to get the search term in the page name correct to get it to appear in the list.

If the navigation were added to the search bar as an alternative method, you could also enter the page number directly and select from a list of all pages making it easier to get to the desired page.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Add the Navigation drop down found on individual APEX pages to the main application page.  Seems like a simple thing to do.

This is a great idea! You can already achieve this in APEX today with a slightly different approach.

    Hi @jkerr , this is exactly what APEX Spotlight is designed to solve. Tap the search button, or use the keyboard shortcut, and type in your page number or page name and enter.

    Hi @vincent morneau Except Spotlight minimally requires the extra step of clicking on the page in the search results instead of going directly to the page when clicking go, or, if search on name, requires correctly searching on a word in the title vs. being able to select the page from a drop down. And, if later returning to the main page the prior search needs to be cleared before doing a new one.  Seemingly small things but can be annoying none the less. A solution that combines the functionality would be nice.
