Brief description:

Have you ever wanted to quickly search your Drupal admin
UI for the specific page you need to get to? There’s a module
for that!



Brief history

How old: created in Nov 2011

Covered as MOTW back in episode #45

Versions available: 8.x-1.3 (D9 & 10), 7.x-2.3



Maintainership

Number of open issues: 53 open, 13 of which are bugs
against the 8.x branch

Does have test coverage



Usage stats:

Almost 31,000 sites



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
