UPDATE NOTES
########################################
9/23/2024 - Added more shortcuts thanks to @Damecek
6/4/2024 - Simple update to Manifest V3 to make sure things work, but everyone should look at using alternative browsers and agitate for more user control
11/25/2023 - There still should be no such thing as billionaires, but fortunately @uri-tools has made a great contribution in getting things back to working as expected even with RequireHTTPOnly turned on, thanks Uri!
10/15/23 - There should be no such thing as billionaires, it is absolute fiction any person can "earn" that much -- Created a workaround for users with RequireHTTPOnly on to allow most functions to still work, excepting custom object navigation and Login As functionality
5/3/23 - #ZooeyZephyr is a duly elected member of the Montana House of Reps, but is not allowed to be present, silencing not just her but her constituents. You cannot say that you support democracy and yet exclude a representative because you don't like what they say. To be clear what Zephyr said was not an example of that stochastic terrorism (intentionally wording public statements to create an atmosphere of violence) that many members of the national Congress commit daily, but a strongly worded, impersonal criticism of proposed legislation. Trans rights are human rights.
7/5 - Pride Month never ends, go learn about Marsha P Johnson - fixed my fixing, Lightning URLs properly replace Classic links better now, still more to be done on this though 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
8/29 - Rest in Power Chadwick Boseman. Thanks to CKloppel for pointing out missing API and click handling, now updated to v49 and new-tab clicks work again
6/19 - Happy Juneteenth! Thanks to kacrouse for Custom Metadata Lightning handling, also updating several changed URLs across the platform

Latest reviews
- (2023-10-17) Nicola Efflandrin: Great
- (2023-06-22) Nick Wu: it's an amazing tool for doing works both lightning and classic, can we also customize the shortcut? But the previous version is much better than current one, the rewrite one can't even search deployment status...
- (2023-01-25) James Markey: Changed my review from 2/5 to 5/5 now that the Lightning / Classic issue is fixed. This extension is so awesome! EDIT: Changed it back to 2/5. Same issues have been happening at this point for over a year. It is a cool tool, but not executed very well.
- (2023-01-13) Amir Khaledi: navigating to flows and certain objects are still taking me to Salesforce classic. Anyone have any fixes for this?
- (2022-10-13) Lodewijk Henneveld: Works reasonably well however, one game breaking issue for me is that some navigations go to the classic and not the lightning page. For example, going to the Flows page in setup. As that's going to be ALL low code automation for Salesforce in the future. This is a glaring issue. Will update to 5 if it's fixed!
- (2022-09-23) Julian Acito: Most important Salesforce extension out there - Shft+Ctrl+Space to get to any setup pages. Only feedback is that it still navigates to the Classic version of some pages.
- (2022-06-13) Kate Hedberg: It was a welcome addition when I first installed, but many of the links (especially to Setup>User) are broken. They redirect to the setting's Classic page or an empty/outdated page in Lightning. I'm an admin, so the User menu is an everyday thing. I find myself using this navigator less and less when I was so excited at first. But even in the six months I've been using it, I've noticed more and more links breaking. Like so much, it's quickly becoming obsolete without updates. I don't need more functionality, just fix the current features!
- (2022-03-10) Muse Operations: Super useful. However I switch between a mac and a PC and can never remember the shortcut because they are different for each.
- (2021-10-14) Maria Huemmer: Amazing! I easily save 1/3 of my time with this tool!
- (2020-09-15) cao tan: It's not working for search object
- (2020-07-18) Poh Yao Chong: Amazing tools, make life easy! Well done!
- (2020-04-16) Nicholas Zozaya: Time saver, great for navigating lightning experience quickly and efficiently
- (2020-04-01) Andrew Lukasiewicz: 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.
- (2020-02-03) Absolutely Essential to Salesforce Administration and Development - Using the search feature has been a game changer in terms of reduction of time and effort to work in Salesforce. Its functionality is considered a MUST HAVE.
- (2019-10-08) Ian Kang: Very useful tool, but there are rooms for improvement. For example, it takes me back to Classic UI which I hate.
- (2019-09-25) Ben Gottesman: This is a must have utility for Salesforce admins and anyone else who is constantly moving around to different parts of Salesforce (different objects, setup, reports, etc.). The Classic version of the utility was good but sometimes had to be refreshed. Lightning version of the utility is much more reliable.
- (2019-07-16) David Cheng: A big THANK YOU for porting this to Lightning. Note that there are still some instances in which this version does not work in Lightning or Classic. When you try to invoke the navigation bar, there's an error in the browser console: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null at <anonymous>:2:48 (anonymous) @ VM312:2" and "document.getElementById("sfnav_searchBox").style.zIndex = 9999" Haven't been able to determine what setting or characteristic of the instance causes the issue. Note that the original version doesn't work in these instances either, but there's no console error then.
- (2019-07-11) Jake Richter (jprichter): This extension keeps me from switching to classic.
- (2019-04-22) Ian Wilson: My company is in the process of transitioning to Lightning and I was terrified when I realized that the original "Salesforce Navigator" extension wasn't compatible. It was an absolute game changer for me as a Salesforce admin & developer. Luckily I found this amazing extension, which takes all of the benefits of the original and adds a number of features that are huge improvements (such as the ability to login as another user on the fly). I'm very grateful that this was developed - it should be #1 on the list of must-haves for any Salesforce admin. You'll never be able to live without it once you try it.
- (2019-04-18) David Smith: Fantastic that this works in Lightning! It's a shame that it doesn't work automatically in classic, I operate across 40 or so instances so it's not really viable to add the necessary settings to each org. However, the old version still works so I just run both.
- (2019-04-04) Michael Beaty: I have missed this functionality since Salesforce Lightning came out. Often colleagues would switch to Classic just to develop with this tool, with it available in lightning now, it has substantially increased the speed with which I can work and configure the system. Thank you so much for putting this together, I have missed this functionality greatly!!
- (2019-03-14) Jason True: Works great! Loving it in classic and lightning
