link from account name to first role console #6

This is great for things like vimperator since it's possible to do something like click the link my-account to log in without the mouse. Without this I have to do something like click on the 27th AWSConsole link...

The link will point to the first role name (I don't know if this should be made more clever eG always link to the full-access role or equivalent). But just using the first role feels right. In our production AFP we have exactly 2 accounts with 2 roles, everything else just has one role.

Neither the JS search feature (requires me to click) nor the star feature (requires me to keep cookies) are useful to me in this regard.

Just for curiosity: How do you use the AWS Console without a mouse?

@mriehl thanks a lot for your contribution!

Thanks!

AWSConsole is actually pretty great with vimperator. After logging in I can press f and the name of the service (eG EMR) and this takes me to the service immediately (I don't have to look for it on the page). Unfortunately amazon is a bit inconsistent there (the IAM link is Identity & Access Management while the EMR link is EMR) but it works quite well.

For services itself it's a mixed bag - some things work and some things don't, but this change has me grab the mouse much later. If I want to look at an EC2 instance I can get to the instance list without thinking. Only then I have to start looking at the GUI and think about what it is telling me.
