We like to keep our modules clean.

It would be awesome to have a shortcut for the "Remove Unused Elements", this way it would be easier to not forget of such task, we could press a shortcut just before the F5 (One click publish).



By the way, thank you for the recent shortcuts added to ServiceStudio (10.0.807.0).

Merged this idea with 'Keyboard shortcut to "Remove Unused Dependencies" ("Remove Unused References")' (created on 18 Feb 2019 12:35:55 by Tiago Bernardo)

Hello everyone!

One of the operations that I always do before I publish a module (espace) is to "Remove Unused Dependencies" ("Remove Unused References").

The quickest way to do this, that I know of,  is through quick access to the menu "Module > Remove Unused Dependencies" by pressing "ALT + M, N".

But because "Manage Dependencies" and "Compare and Merge with Published Version" have their own keyboard shortcuts, I think that "Remove Unused Dependencies" also deserves a keyboard shortcut.

Note: I searched the ideas for "unused references" and "unused dependencies" but did not find anything for this new idea.

If I just want to use the mouse, as an alternative to pressing "ALT + M, N", the quickest way is:

1) Click the "Processes" tab,

(and because this tab always has very few elements so the root element relative to the module (espace) is immediately visible);

2) Right-click the name of the module (espace), and click "Remove Unused Dependencies".

Hello Tiago,


Thank you for the idea! As you might know Service Studio updated the shortcut-keys last year with the most used shortcuts. (https://success.outsystems.com/Documentation/11/Developing_an_Application/Service_Studio_Shortcuts).

Do you Remove Dependencies often? I usually do it before a deploy to another environment.

Cheers,

Magda Pereira

Hi Magda,


I remove unused dependencies every time before I publish a module/espace, not only when I am going to deploy to another environment.


I today found that my idea is a duplicate of this one from Daniel Martins created on 5 May 2018:

Shortcut for "Remove Unused Elements"

https://www.outsystems.com/ideas/4760/Shortcut+for+%22Remove+Unused+Elements%22

At that time it was still named "Removed Unused Elements" instead of "Remove Unused Dependencies".

So, my idea should be merged into this one.

Hi,

I think it would be useful and a good accelerator to have a shortcut to remove the dependencies that aren't being used.

Best regards,
Pedro Vila Nova

Hi Pedro,

isn't this feature already available when you right click the module name on every tab? Or are you talking about this feature existing somewhere else?

Regards

Hi José,


I think the idea is shortcut with a combination like CTRL+SHFT+Q something like that

Hi Fábio and José,


Yes, my idea was literal like Fábio said, a shortcut by the keyboard.


Best regards to both
