Navigator for Salesforce

Open any Salesforce Setup page, object, field, record, app or org in a few keystrokes.

Add to Chrome · Website

Navigator used to be called Salesforce Easy Navigator. If you already have it, version 5.0 updated it in place under the new name.

What it does

Press Alt+K (Option+K on a Mac) on any Salesforce page and start typing:

Type	To
users, perm	Open any of 400+ Setup pages. perm finds Permission Sets.
acme	Find a record, user, object, profile, permission set, flow, app, Apex class or trigger, or custom metadata type named Acme
new case, list lead	Open a new Case, or the Leads list view
fields account indus	Jump to the Industry field on Account
count lead	See how many Leads there are, and each record type's count
recent account	List the Accounts you viewed last, or recent alone for every object
flows, profiles, permsets, apex	List them, last modified first, and type to narrow. Package Apex shows once you tick Show package code
users	List the active users who logged in last, or type a name to find anyone
limits	See how much of each org limit is used, most used first
app service	Open the Service Console app
record and a space	See the current record's field values, with API names, ready to copy
org uat	Open a saved org in a new tab, or press → to open the page you're on in that org
login jane	Log in as Jane, if you're allowed to log in as other users
A Salesforce link from another org	Open the same page in this org, for example a Setup page from a sandbox

The commands also sit in a row when the palette opens; click one to start it. Most have a short form: f (fields), li (list), n (new), c (count), re (recent), a (app), o (org), lo (login) and r (record), so f account indus works too. Shortcuts in the palette, and Settings → Palette commands, list them all with examples. On a record or list, the palette starts with that object in Object Manager, and fields, new and list put it first. Results you pick often rank higher.

You can also paste a 15- or 18-character record Id. The closest match comes first. Press Enter to open it, Ctrl/⌘+Enter to open it in a new tab, Shift+Enter to open it in a background tab and keep the palette open, or → for more actions. On a record, → previews its key fields beside the results; on a user, it shows their details with Login as. Admin shorthand works too: ps, psg, dl, cmdt and others open the Setup page they stand for. Text you select on the page fills the search when you open the palette.

list, an object and a space (li account ) searches that object's list views. On a record, the palette lists the records it links to, like its Account and Owner.

The popup (Alt+N, or Option+N on a Mac) has four tabs:

• Recent: records you viewed and Setup pages you opened, side by side
• Navigate: Home, Setup, Object Manager, Dev Console, Users, and up to 25 bookmarks
• Objects: your org's objects, with list, new record and fields, and a menu for layouts, record types, validation rules and triggers. Objects from installed packages are hidden from the list until you turn them on (in Settings or under the list), but search always finds them
• Orgs: your saved orgs, with a colored dot for production, sandbox, scratch and developer orgs. Rename them, pin your favorites, open any of them in one click, or open the page you're on in another org

On Salesforce pages, Navigator adds a row of your own Setup quick tabs under the Setup header, and an N button in the header that opens the popup.

Tab colors (off by default): turn on Settings → Orgs → Color browser tabs by org and each saved org's browser tabs get a Salesforce cloud icon in the org's own color, with its initial in the middle. Production orgs get red first and show the initial in a circle. Only saved orgs are colored: on an org you haven't saved, the popup's Orgs tab offers to add it. Click a color in Settings to change it.

Everything can be turned on or off in Settings, along with the theme (light, dark or system) and import or export of your data.

Keyboard shortcuts

Windows / Linux	Mac	Action
Alt+K	Option+K	Open the command palette
Alt+N	Option+N	Open the popup
Alt+S	Option+S	Go to Setup
Alt+A	Option+A	Go to the current app's Home

Chrome skips a default shortcut that another extension already uses. You can change any of them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Install

Install it from the Chrome Web Store.

To run it from source instead, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Moving from an unpacked copy to the store version? Saved data doesn't carry over by itself. Export it from the old copy (Settings → Data → Export), then import it in the new one.

Privacy

Navigator runs entirely in your browser. It talks only to the Salesforce org you're logged in to, using the session you already have, and sends nothing anywhere else. There are no analytics, no ads and no accounts.

Permission	Why
storage	Saves your bookmarks, quick tabs, orgs, tab colors and settings, synced through your Chrome profile
cookies	Reads your Salesforce session to make read-only API calls to your own org, and to see which orgs you're logged in to
Salesforce sites only	Runs on *.force.com, *.my.salesforce.com and *.my.salesforce-setup.com, nowhere else

Searching records, objects and other org data is on by default. To turn it off, open Settings and switch off Load data from your org.

For full details, see the privacy policy (the same text is in PRIVACY.md). To report a security problem, see SECURITY.md.

Contributing

Bug reports, ideas and pull requests are welcome. There's no build step and there are no dependencies: clone the repo, load it unpacked and run npm test. CONTRIBUTING.md explains how.
