  • Covered as MOTW back in episode #45
  • Versions available: 8.x-1.3 (D9 & 10), 7.x-2.3
• Maintainership
  • Number of open issues: 53 open, 13 of which are bugs against the 8.x branch
  • Does have test coverage
• Usage stats:
  • Almost 31,000 sites
• Maintainer(s):
  • Michaelmol, who appears to have created the module in his first year on drupal.org, now almost 13 years ago
• Module features and usage
  • With a simple keystroke, (option-d or alt-d) you can start your search, and then see suggestions as you type
  • Can use the arrow keys to move between suggestions
  • Listeners who have used Mac apps like Alfred or Spotlight will be familiar with the experience
  • A very fast way to move between different places in your Drupal admin
  • Also includes :add as a quick way to add content of a specific type
  • Provides a hook you can use to define your own commands
  • There is a Coffee Extras module that adds more commands, but it doesn’t work with Drupal 10 and is marked as no longer developed
  • Also worth noting that the Gin admin theme comes with built-in optimization and formatting for Coffee, so you can enjoy Gin and Coffee together
