Azure DevOps Search Extension

~~ Introduction ~~

Coworker: Did you get a chance to review 32337?

Before your eyes start to glaze over, you open up chrome, hit Alt+Shift+D, type in '32337' in the little pop-up, and hit enter.

A new tab opens with work item 32337, and you can tell your coworker that yes, you have -- didn't they see your comments?

~~ Settings ~~

Settings are straight-forward and based off the URL following the format of https://Organization.visualstudio.com/Project/, https://dev.azure.com/Organization/Project/, or a custom URL.

~~ Searching ~~

ALT+SHIFT+D: Quick open pop-up window for mouse-free use.

If you type in a number, it will attempt to open the work item directly.

If you type in something that isn't a number, it will start a search in your project, instead.

In both cases a new tab will be opened by default.
