No doubt that ServiceNow is good tool, but sometimes a good thing is missing something very much important. Like this, many developers are missing a very basic functionality that they use a lot while developing stuffs i.e old functionality for saving stuffs "CTRL+S" or "MetaKey+S". Let us present you one Utility :SaveNow.
Developer Utility — SaveNow
At inMorphis, we have developed a utility SaveNow, which we use to save scripts. This is a small utility that saves a lot of time. Previously, developer used to save via "RIGHT CLICK" but now we use this utility.
Basic idea is to create a global UI Script that will capture the key events and trigger UI Action to save scripts.
Create a new UI Script.
UI Script: SaveNow
Global: true
Active: true
Script:
- /*
- Add Event Listener on key down event for CTRL+S
- */
- document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) {
- //keycode 83 is for s
- //identify main key ==> metakey || ctrlkey
- if ((window.navigator.platform.toUpperCase().indexOf('MAC')>=0 ? event.metaKey : event.ctrlKey) && event.keyCode == 83) {
- //Get the event value, "event.which" is for FF
- event=event||window.event||event.which;
- //Prevent the dafault function called by CTRL+S
- event.preventDefault();
- //Get full element of the form
- var _form=g_form.getFormElement();
- //Get the sys_id value from the URL to check which UI Action needs to be called
- var _sys=getParameterFromURL("sys_id").toString();
- //Based on value of sys_id, we will decide that which UI Action needs to be called, either for insert or Update
- var _btnAction=_sys=="-1"?"sysverb_insert_and_stay":"sysverb_update_and_stay";
- //call the UI Action
- gsftSubmit(null, _form, _btnAction);
- }
- }, false);
