  A small, focused shortcut for the Zendesk Admin Center.
  
  Press Alt+K anywhere on a Zendesk page. A search box opens. Type a few letters. Hit Enter. You're on the right page.
  
  That's the whole extension.
  
  What you can search
  - Admin Center pages — Tickets, Channels, People, Workspaces, Apps & Integrations, Account, Objects & Rules, and the rest of the settings tree.
  - Your tenant's configuration objects — triggers, automations, macros, views, groups, SLA policies, ticket forms, ticket fields, user fields, organization fields, custom roles, and dynamic content.
  
  To search a configuration object, type a prefix and a colon, then start typing:
  
      trigger:welcome     → triggers whose name contains "welcome"
      macro:1234567890    → the macro with that exact id
      view:               → every shared view in the tenant
  
  The first time you use a prefix on a tenant, the extension asks you to build a small local cache by reading the matching admin API. After that, searches are instant and offline.
  
  How navigation works
  - Enter — open in the same tab.
  - Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter (or middle-click) — open in a new tab.
  - Esc, clicking outside the box, or pressing Alt+K again — close.
  
  Light and dark
  The search overlay automatically matches the page you're on. Zendesk's light theme, dark theme, and any future theme — it follows along.
  
  Privacy — everything stays in your browser
  - No accounts. No setup. No options page.
  - No analytics, no telemetry, no error reporting.
  - No third-party servers — the extension never sends data anywhere.
  - The only network requests are direct calls to your own Zendesk tenant's admin API, made only when you click "Build cache".
  - Your local cache lives in your browser. Clearing site data wipes it.
  
  Open source
  Source is on GitHub under the MIT license. Around 1,500 lines of plain JavaScript — short enough to read in one sitting if you ever want to verify what it does.

  The first time you use a prefix on a tenant, the extension asks you to build a small local cache by reading the matching admin API. After that, searches are instant and offline.
  
  Cache searches default to active records only. Press Alt+I in the spotlight to include inactive ones alongside the active results.
  
  If a cache needs rebuilding — because records were renamed, added, or removed — the spotlight shows a Stale signal next to that object type. Use the stale: prefix to set how long a cache stays fresh (stale:1, stale:3, stale:5, or stale:7 days). The default is 3 days.

  - Enter — open in the same tab.
  - Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter (or middle-click) — open in a new tab.

  Cache builds are paced to stay within your Zendesk plan's API rate limit. The default is 200 requests per minute (Suite Team tier). Use the rpm: prefix to pick a higher tier if your plan allows — rpm:400, rpm:700, or rpm:2500. The Options popover (cogwheel in the spotlight footer, or Ctrl+, / Cmd+,) shows your current settings at a glance.
