Allows you to quickly open the saved Salesforce orgs with keyboard shortcuts. It also enables you to set a colored favicon for them.
Salesforce Shortcuts with Colored Favicons Extension
In addition to that, to help you differentiate between different sandboxes, the plugin enables you to set a colored favicon for each one.
How to use the shortcuts after your already added a Salesforce org to it:
1) Open the extension using the \"Alt + S\" keyboard shortcut (\"Option + S\" on macOS)
2) Select your Salesforce Org with up and down arrows
3) Press \"Control + 1\" to open its Home page
3.a) use \"Control + 2\" to open Setup, or \"Control + 3\" to open Developer Console
How to change the favicon color:
1) Open the extension using the \"Alt + S\" keyboard shortcut (\"Option + S\" on macOS)
2) Click on the colored circle next to the name of the Salesforce Org for which you want to change the favicon color
3) Select a new color
4) Next time you open that org the favicon will be of the color you selected
You can change the default \"Alt + S\" shortcut by opening the following URL in your browser: chrome://extensions/shortcuts
The plugin is 100% safe and private, however, it requires certain permissions to be able to know when you have opened a Salesforce URL so that it can set a favicon for it. If you still have privacy concerns, you can use a version of this plugin that doesn't require any permissions, but it comes without the colored favicons: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/salesforce-shortcuts/cfkgcmoiljifcbaaofinpfjgobhmnopk
