QuickNav for Google AI Studio: Navigation & Productivity Suite
v22.0 Update: Structural compatibility fixes, Nav Menu Search, Force Text Paste, and UI Enhancements.
QuickNav enhances your Google AI Studio workflow by restoring classic navigation controls and adding a suite of productivity tools. From saving your best prompts and managing favorite chats, to searching within conversations and controlling your input field — this script provides a more efficient interface.
✨ Key Features
🚀 Navigation & In-Chat Search (Updated)
- In-Menu Search: Click the message counter (
Current / Total) to open the Index Menu, now featuring a search bar. Filter turns, highlight matches in the tooltip, and jump between specific words using the ‹ › arrows. - Classic Controls: A compact bar with First (⏫), Previous (🔼), Next (🔽), and Last (⏬) buttons. Press and hold any button to scroll rapidly.
- Auto-Follow Lock: Long-press Last (⏬) to lock scrolling to the bottom. Useful for monitoring long generations.
- Code Previews: Collapsed code blocks now display a handy 2-line text preview directly in the chat header (can be disabled in settings).
✍️ Input Control & Fixes (Updated)
- Force Plain Text Paste: Bypass AI Studio's default behavior that converts long pasted text (1000+ chars) into attached
.txt files. Use the new clipboard toggle in the prompt toolbar to force raw text paste. - Smart Prompt Resizer: Toggle the input field height between Min, Mid, and Max states. The field automatically expands as you type and collapses when you clear it entirely.
- Quick Actions: Dedicated buttons for Copy, Paste, and a safety-guarded Clear (requires double-click).
📚 Prompt Library
A built-in system to manage your prompts without leaving the chat.
- Save & Organize: Store frequently used prompts. Categorize them with color-coded tags.
- Pinning & Global Editing: Pin essential prompts or tags to the top. Double-click or right-click any tag to globally rename it or change its color across all prompts.
- Data Management: Search, filter, Import/Export to JSON, or wipe the library if needed.
⭐ Favorites Manager
- Bookmark Chats: Save specific chat URLs with custom titles.
- Search & Filter: Quickly find saved chats using the built-in search bar.
- Import/Export: Backup your favorite links to JSON.
🎨 Personalization
- Theme Switcher: Quickly toggle Light/Dark mode for the current session via the new header icon (☀️/🌙).
- Custom Layout: Adjust text size (10px - 32px) and constrain the chat width for wide monitors.
- Factory Reset: A built-in option in the QuickNav settings to safely clear all script data and reset to defaults.

⚙️ Installation & Usage
⚠️ Prerequisite: You need a userscript manager extension (such as Tampermonkey) and the “Allow User Scripts” slider must be turned on.
- Install a Userscript Manager (if you don't have one):
- Configure The Manager (One-Time Setup using Tampermonkey in Chrome as an example):
- a. Pin the Extension: After installing, click the puzzle piece icon (🧩) in your Chrome toolbar and click the pin icon next to Tampermonkey to keep it visible.
- b. Open Extension Settings: Right-click the newly pinned Tampermonkey icon and select 'Manage extension'.
- c. Enable Script Access: A new tab will open. Find the slider labeled "Allow User Scripts" and make sure it is turned on. This is a critical step that allows the script to function correctly.
- Install the QuickNav Script: Once your manager is set up, return to this page and click the green "Install this script" button." Your userscript manager will open a new tab. Simply confirm the installation.
- Start Using It:
- Navigate to Google AI Studio.
- Open any chat, and the QuickNav control panel will appear automatically above the input field. Enjoy!
