Environment

  • Python version:
  • NetBox version: 2.3.6

Proposed Functionality

When connecting interfaces, the B Side Device field should have autofocus on input. This should also be on the page after 'Connect and Add Another'
image

Use Case

Use case would be if you are making a lot of connections to the save device and you can paste and tab to select the next interface, instead of having to select the text box, then paste , and when you are doing 500 connections in a day it would save a lot of time.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2018):

This come up before, though I can't find an issue for it. There are undoubtedly many places where little optimizations like this would make for a slightly better user experience, however I'd rather not open the door for a bunch of UI tweaks that aren't really necessary. It's something we can revisit when and if we ever knock down the backlog of 100+ existing feature requests.
