Insomnia: [Feature Request] Sticky request in the left menu.

[Lokocr]

Add sticky request in top of the left menu.

• Insomnia Version: 6.3.1
• Operating System: Linux Mate (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS)

Details

I think it should be a good idea to have some sticky request, for example, when you have a important request like Token generator for authentication but are you have more than 30 other request saved in the request menu (left one in the UI).

I could be store in the same menu but with a flag or somthing like that, something that make a difference look from the other ones.

Yes! This one has been in the back of my head for a while now. Essentially, the ability to pin requests (a common feature in many apps).

Also, it looks like you'd benefit from putting some of those in folders 😆🙃

@gschier Never contributed to open source before, but I use insomnia every day and would definitely find value in this feature valuable. I would love to take a crack at it this, if that is okay.

[gschier]

@viktree it's definitely okay if you want to try 😃

[olearycrew]

@viktree are you still looking to do this? I was also considering it 😄

[viktree]

@brendano86 Kinda left this for a little while. Have at it 😄

[develohpanda]

@brendano86 any progress from your end? Otherwise I will pick this up.

@gschier I've started on this and my approach (for both request and request group) is to:
1) Create a Pin/Unpin option in the action menu dropdown
2) Show section identical to the sidebar-list between the filter and sidebar-list, for pinned items (hidden if no pinned items)
3) Show a fa-thumb-tack on pinned items

I'm yet to figure out sizing constraints for the pinned rows and all rows, but will make sure they are easy to differentiate. This is the only way I could think of having sticky/pinned items that stay at the top while the rest of the section scrolls.

Am I on the right track?

[gschier]

It sounds like you're on the right track @develohpanda 😄
