Don't want to memorize shortcuts? Click the extension icon to open the popup, where every action is grouped and searchable — just type to filter and press Enter to run.
The popup also has a "Show results in a modal on the current tab" toggle:
- Off (default): views like Environment Variables, Dependencies, and Audit History open in a new browser tab.
- On: the same views open in an in-page modal overlay on the current tab. Close it with the ✕ button, by clicking the backdrop, or by pressing Esc.
Your choice is remembered across sessions.
-
Open Advanced Find — Opens the classic Advanced Find search window for the current environment.
-
Enable God Mode — Unlocks the current form: makes hidden fields visible, read-only fields editable, and optional fields non-mandatory.
-
List Security Roles — Lists the security roles in the environment (with first/last user context) so you can review who has what access.
-
Locate Field on Form — Highlights and scrolls to a chosen field on the current form so you can find it quickly.
-
Open Entity List — Prompts for an entity (table) logical name and opens its list view in a new tab.
-
Open Record — Prompts for an entity name and record GUID, then opens that specific record in a new tab.
-
Quick Field Update — Lets you update a field value on the current record directly, without opening the full editor.
-
Toggle Ribbon Debug — Adds or removes
&ribbondebug=truefrom the URL to turn command-bar (ribbon) debugging on or off. -
View Option Sets — Displays the option set values (including multiselect and boolean fields) available on the current form.
-
Execute Retrieve with FetchXML — Runs a FetchXML query against the environment and shows the returned records.
-
Display All Fields — Lists every field on the current record along with its values, including those not shown on the form.
-
List Field Dependencies — Shows components that reference the keyword (e.g. a field logical name): Flows, Plugins, Workflows, Business Rules, BPFs, Actions, and Environment Variables. You can also opt in to scan unmanaged JavaScript/HTML web resource files (a longer-running operation, with an optional name filter to narrow the scan); matching web resources open in an in-app code viewer with the keyword highlighted, match-to-match navigation (Enter / Shift+Enter), and a button to download the file. Results show the search execution time and can be filtered by type, active state, and text.
