Hitting find content before searching for content

[robdekort]

Something I keep forgetting when searching for content is to go into Find content first. I wonder if it all could be one the same root level? If not, I'm sure you have reasons. I'm mostly curious, and sure I can get used to it if this is best.

Hey @robdekort thanks for the feedback! I thought about that approach initially because it would've simplified the front-end a lot!

The reason I implemented it this way was because I was worried a site with a sizable set of content would make searching for actions hard. For example, if a client had a few dozen blog posts prefixed with "Collections" or "Field" it might push down the action you're looking for by quite a bit.

What I may do is make contexts accessible from a keyboard shortcut, too. So—CMD+K would be Palette, CMD+J (for instance) would be "Find Content".

Hey Aaron, yeah I figured something like that was probably the reason. I like the thought of separate shortcuts. Something else you could consider is having it all in one root but adding the ability to search content something, fieldset something to narrow stuff down. Anyways, I'll leave it to your good care. Thanks!
