QuickNav for Google AI Studio: Classic Buttons, Supercharged Navigation ⚡
Ever lost your place while scrolling through a long Google AI Studio chat?
In the classic interface, there were just two simple buttons — Up (🔼) and Down (🔽) — that let you move cleanly from one message to the next, stepping through prompts and LLM replies saving you time and keeping your place.
This script not only brings those buttons back, but also evolves them into a complete navigation system for power users. Stop the endless scroll — and take back precise control of your conversations.
✨ Key Features & Benefits
This script injects a powerful yet non-intrusive navigation panel directly into the Google AI Studio interface, giving you total control over your conversation history.
- 🚀 Precise Navigation & Turbo-Scrolling:
- Get a compact control bar with four essential buttons: First (⏫), Previous (🔼), Next (🔽), and Last (⏬).
- Power User Tip: Press and hold any of the four navigation buttons to rapidly scroll through messages at high speed. The longer you hold, the faster you go!
- NEW! Auto-Scroll Lock: Long-press the Last (⏬) button for one second to lock it in an "on" state. It will continuously scroll to the very end of the chat, perfect for keeping up with long, generating responses. Click it again to turn it off.
- 🧠 The 'Magic' Message Menu:
- The message counter (
Current / Total) is a powerful button! Click it to open a fully interactive pop-up menu that lists every single turn in your chat. - Instant Jump: See snippets of all your prompts and the model's responses in one clean list. Click any message to be instantly taken to its location.
- Full Text Loader: For very long chats, use the "Load All" button to ensure every message's full text is indexed and available in the menu.
- Full Keyboard Control: Navigate the entire message list without touching your mouse. Use `Arrow Keys`, `Home`/`End`, and `Page Up`/`Down` to fly through your history, and press `Enter` to jump.
- 🎯 Smart Floating Indicator & Progress Tracker:
- The active message is highlighted with a dynamic, floating indicator that's always visible on your screen.
- Instantly know your position within a long response with a real-time scroll percentage tracker. No more guessing how much of a message is left to read!
- The indicator intelligently stays near the vertical center of your viewport for easy viewing but remains neatly attached to the message it's tracking. You get perfect context without the UI getting in your way.
- Clear Visual Focus: The currently selected message turn is outlined with a subtle, clean border, so you never lose your place in the conversation, even during fast scrolling.
