- Usage stats:
- Maintainer(s):
- Michaelmol, who appears to have created the module in his first year on drupal.org, now almost 13 years ago
- Module features and usage
- With a simple keystroke, (option-d or alt-d) you can start your search, and then see suggestions as you type
- Can use the arrow keys to move between suggestions
- Listeners who have used Mac apps like Alfred or Spotlight will be familiar with the experience
- A very fast way to move between different places in your Drupal admin
- Also includes :add as a quick way to add content of a specific type
- Provides a hook you can use to define your own commands
- There is a Coffee Extras module that adds more commands, but it doesn’t work with Drupal 10 and is marked as no longer developed
- Also worth noting that the Gin admin theme comes with built-in optimization and formatting for Coffee, so you can enjoy Gin and Coffee together
