Quick Send

Quick Send sends one of your saved requests from wherever you are. Press its shortcut in any app, type a few letters of the request's name, press ↩, and the status, time and size come back in a small panel. The app you were in stays in front.

Turn it onCopy Anchor Link

Quick Send is off until you turn it on.

1. Open Settings › General.
2. Under Quick Send, turn on Show Quick Send in the menu bar.

A paper plane appears in the menu bar, and the shortcut starts working in every app.

Change the shortcutCopy Anchor Link

The shortcut is ⌃⌥Space unless you choose another. To change it, click the shortcut next to Shortcut and press the new keys. Esc keeps the old one, and Reset goes back to ⌃⌥Space.

A shortcut that works in every app needs ⌘, ⌃ or ⌥, or a function key, so typing never sets it off. While it is registered, no other app gets those keys. If another app already holds them, Settings says the shortcut could not be registered; choose another.

Send a requestCopy Anchor Link

1. Press the shortcut, or click the paper plane in the menu bar.
2. Type in Send a saved request… to narrow the list. Each row shows the request's method, name, and its workspace and folder.
3. Use ↑ and ↓ to pick one, and press ↩, or click it.

The foot of the panel shows the outcome: the status code, the reason (or the request's name), the time and the size, or why the send failed. Open in Echolot brings the request up in its workspace window, opening the workspace if it isn't open.

The panel closes with Esc or when you click elsewhere.

Which requests it offersCopy Anchor Link

The panel lists every saved request of the workspaces open in Echolot first, then of your recent workspaces (the last ten you opened), in the order of each workspace's sidebar. A workspace doesn't need to be open to send its requests.

A request sent from Quick Send goes out as it would from its window:

• With the environment the workspace uses in its window, or the one it used last.
• With its scripts and checks.
• Into the request's history, so the response is there when you open the request.

Protected environmentsCopy Anchor Link

When the request's environment is protected, the panel asks first: Send to Environment?, with the method and address it would send to, secrets masked. Cancel is the default button, so ↩ doesn't send; click Send (or Connect for a WebSocket, Socket.IO or MQTT request) to go on. If you chose not to be asked again for that environment in the workspace's open window, Quick Send doesn't ask either.
