Quick Search for Elements Add-on Idea

I like this idea but why don't use the same search ui than the resource tab ?

Another idea for solving elements search problem, is a "bookmark" bar, where we can click and go to bookmarked element (or resource). On large project with a lot of chunks and stuff using the tree can be a pain and in my experience i often focus on some group of element when building page.

And here I thought I was the only spaz. All great ideas. And just let me add "no right clicky"!

I've never been a fan of all the ajax going on in the Manager. Simple hover or jquery trees would suffice. Your method sounds cool, I could never remember all the element names though.

For you then, another similar method might be something Ryan Thrash brought up at MODXpo Netherlands. This would probably have to be a feature of Ace or Codemirror, but imagine, when editing an element if other elements served as hyperlinks to open them in a new tab. Maybe it's context menu style, so you aren't accidentally "clicking" them when trying to just edit text.

This "mini" modal window could also grow in features over time, maybe doing things like listing recently edited Elements by type.
