[Done] Allow Ctrl+P Searching for anything that can make a tab

Add App Sessions, Settings, etc. – basically anything that can be put into a tab – into the Ctrl+P Search List. These things all appear in the recents list, but not in the search results if they aren’t recent.

The implementation would probably take a few stages, so worth mentioning if there are any tabs you find yourself going to a lot.

I often go back to the tabs I was had open the last time I edited that same app.

Right now, those are lost when I switch the IDE to another of my apps.

… or when you work on the same app with multiple windows and ctrl+P shows different lists of available tabs on each window.


Building and maintaining the list of all possible tabs is impossible, and the list could quickly become very long. In theory you could have one tab open per log session!

But the Jump To list could be an (hidden) attribute of the app, and when switching window, or when reopening an app (as far as I can tell the two operations are very similar) the list could be restored.

The Least Recently Used items could be purged after a week.

Items no longer valid could be purged when the list pops up. Or, if that’s difficult, they could be left there, waiting for them to get stale and vanish after a week. Or when the user clicks on the x.

If loading that list every time is considered an almost useless waste of time, pressing Ctrl+P should immediately show the stale version, then it should lazily fetch the list from the server and update the UI if needed.

We’ve made Ctrl + P a bit cleverer - it should now maintain some memory of your recently accessed files within an app.

Hopefully this helps somewhat when switching between projects, or coming back to a project the next day.

Any progress on the original feature request in the first post of adding settings tabs/app logs/services to the Ctrl+P Search?

Not yet.

See above. :arrow_up:

Definitely base app logs. And any of the common services (I guess user services? I don’t go to them very often except when initially setting up though I guess…)

We have now implemented the original request to allow jumping to any type of tab :slight_smile:
