New Feature: easier interface for re-running queries #41

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi Stephen

I've got a feature request for your tool. I'm often using the I'm Only Resting 
tool against a rest api and find it hard to run older queries again (Menu > 
File > Snapshots > ...).

Can you replace the text box for the url with a writable drop-down box? So that 
the history (= snapshots) is directly available in the url field?

Many thanks and kind regards
Claudio

Hi Claudio,

Thanks for your feature request, I'll certainly look into making this 
improvement.

The current URL textbox should already have history with auto-completion to 
help you in your scenario (vs. snapshots which are a complete capture of both 
the request and response of a submission), but I do find it is inadequate. I 
will first look into improving this existing feature, and then explore 
alternatives like you suggest after that.

Note that you can get to the Snapshots fairly quickly with the following key 
combo: ALT-F > Up Arrow > Up Arrow

Thanks again for your feedback!

Stephen

Cladio - please see Issue 49, I think the work I did there will make it a lot 
easier to re-run queries (there will be a top-level History menu item that you 
can quickly get to with the ALT+H shortcut).

I am going to mark this issue as fixed. If the work I did for Issue 49 as good 
as you were hoping for, please feel free to open another issue.

Note that the changes I am talking about haven't been released yet, I expect to 
get out a release in the next week or two.
