This is a chrome extension that's designed for all those times when a coworker references a workitem by its number leaving you to look it up yourself.
Settings are based off the URL following the format of https://dev.azure.com/company/Project/ or https://company.visualstudio.com/Project/ or a custom URL.
If you type in a number, it will attempt to open the work item directly.
Other searches will start a search.
In both cases a new tab will be opened -- the default behavior can be changed.
ALT+SHIFT+D: Quick open popup window for mouse-free use
Support for choosing whether to open a new tab or re-use the current tab (complete)- Support for searching (by default) non-work items
- Support for multiple Projects (tentatively planned)
- Support for multiple Companies (unplanned)
- A real icon (unplanned)
To run this extension locally in development mode:
- Download into a directory

The extension should now be loaded into chrome and a new icon should appoar near the URL bar.
