Force.com Developer Console Navigation Trick

I never thought that working in a browser could be more fun than Eclipse IDE. But my thinking is changing these days. First, https://jsfiddle.net/ became my favorite playground for any HTML/JavaScript research, and now I feel Developer Console is way more convenient and faster to work with as compared to Eclipse for the following reasons:

  1. No need to check out the project and wait for the metadata download to start.

  2. No need to update/sync the project; you are always working on the latest copy.

  3. Save is pretty fast, too, and thankfully, “CTRL + S” works here also.

  4. The developer console remembers the last opened files when launched again.

The Trick!

Apart from the above, I figured out a small trick that makes it even easier to work with the Developer Console. Here is a video that shows the trick in action.

Always looking forward to those.
