In firefox you can give a bookmark a keyword that you can then write in the address bar to open it. It can also be used for adding search engines.

That bookmark can be a bookmarklet/javascript as well, so you can run commands typing in the address bar and hitting enter.

I've used both things but never considered combining them. Very clever.

That's exactly it. A Javascript bookmarklet with an assigned keyword ("edit").

care to share it so i can crib off of you? oddly enough i write javascript all the time but never ever really got comfortable writing "bookmarklets"...

This is the code:

    javascript:void(window.open(document.querySelector('head%20%3E%20link%5Brel=edit%5D').href,%20%20'_blank'));

It relies on the page having a <link> tag with the URL to the admin panel.

You can abuse the Chrome custom Site Search feature to achieve the same. You don't have to use the %s argument substitution thing.

I do this without %s to go to dev, qa, or prod: ad/aq/ap for Airflow, kd/kq/kp for Keycloak.

I also started using custom searches for every new technology. I know I'm going to be googling "kubernetes foo" or "Elasticsearch bar" 1000 times in my life, so I just make a "k8" or "es" search engine right from the start. Also "diff %s" for "difference between".
