QuickNav for Google AI Studio: Navigation & Productivity Suite

v22.0 Update: Structural compatibility fixes, Nav Menu Search, Force Text Paste, and UI Enhancements.

QuickNav enhances your Google AI Studio workflow by restoring classic navigation controls and adding a suite of productivity tools. From saving your best prompts and managing favorite chats, to searching within conversations and controlling your input field — this script provides a more efficient interface.

✨ Key Features

🚀 Navigation & In-Chat Search (Updated)

• In-Menu Search: Click the message counter (Current / Total) to open the Index Menu, now featuring a search bar. Filter turns, highlight matches in the tooltip, and jump between specific words using the ‹ › arrows.
• Classic Controls: A compact bar with First (⏫), Previous (🔼), Next (🔽), and Last (⏬) buttons. Press and hold any button to scroll rapidly.
• Auto-Follow Lock: Long-press Last (⏬) to lock scrolling to the bottom. Useful for monitoring long generations.
• Code Previews: Collapsed code blocks now display a handy 2-line text preview directly in the chat header (can be disabled in settings).

✍️ Input Control & Fixes (Updated)

• Force Plain Text Paste: Bypass AI Studio's default behavior that converts long pasted text (1000+ chars) into attached .txt files. Use the new clipboard toggle in the prompt toolbar to force raw text paste.
• Smart Prompt Resizer: Toggle the input field height between Min, Mid, and Max states. The field automatically expands as you type and collapses when you clear it entirely.
• Custom History Stack: The script implements its own Undo (Ctrl+Z) and Redo (Ctrl+Y) logic specifically for the prompt box.
• Quick Actions: Dedicated buttons for Copy, Paste, and a safety-guarded Clear (requires double-click).

📚 Prompt Library

A built-in system to manage your prompts without leaving the chat.

• Save & Organize: Store frequently used prompts. Categorize them with color-coded tags.
• Pinning & Global Editing: Pin essential prompts or tags to the top. Double-click or right-click any tag to globally rename it or change its color across all prompts.
• Data Management: Search, filter, Import/Export to JSON, or wipe the library if needed.

⭐ Favorites Manager

• Bookmark Chats: Save specific chat URLs with custom titles.
• Search & Filter: Quickly find saved chats using the built-in search bar.
• Import/Export: Backup your favorite links to JSON or clear them all at once.

🎨 Personalization

• Theme Switcher: Quickly toggle Light/Dark mode for the current session via the new header icon (☀️/🌙).
• Custom Layout: Adjust text size (10px - 32px) and constrain the chat width for wide monitors.
• Factory Reset: A built-in option in the QuickNav settings to safely clear all script data and reset to defaults.

⚙️ Installation & Usage

⚠️ Prerequisite: You need a userscript manager extension (such as Tampermonkey), and within its settings, the option to allow user scripts must be enabled.

1. Install a Userscript Manager (if you don't have one):

   • For Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.: Install Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey
   • For Firefox: Install Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey

2. Configure The Manager (One-Time Setup using Tampermonkey in Chrome as an example):

   • a. Pin the Extension: After installing, click the puzzle piece icon (🧩) in your Chrome toolbar and click the pin icon next to Tampermonkey to keep it visible.
   • b. Open Extension Settings: Right-click the newly pinned Tampermonkey icon and select 'Manage extension'.
   • c. Enable Script Access: A new tab will open. Find the slider labeled "Allow User Scripts" and make sure it is turned on. This is a critical step that allows the script to function correctly.

3. Install the QuickNav Script:

   • On this page, click the blue "Install" button. Your userscript manager will open a new tab. Simply confirm the installation.

4. Start Using It:

   • Navigate to Google AI Studio.
   • Open any chat, and the QuickNav control panel will appear automatically above the input field. Enjoy!
