The theme component is at: [GitHub - xrav3nz/discourse-quick-access · GitHub](https://github.com/xrav3nz/discourse-quick-access). Open to suggestions!

I’ve made sure the design is easy for other plugins/themes to provide their own quick access panel. I will document this in detail (or PR an example to discourse-assign) if and when there is interest.

**A Quick Demo:**

**Selected Panel Color**

It reuses the coloring for hover state for now.

**Going to the Full Page**

- You can still right-click or Ctrl-click to open the full page in a new tab, or
- Click the link at the bottom (it will always show for bookmark and message), or
- Click the same quick access panel twice.

**Empty State**

 ![Bookmarks%20quick%20access%20panel%20empty%20state](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/7/f7acf54eb8c5bde5e503a71be63d7834fbac0425.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/1/616bcf57f8dbb3a95de29bd5b0a0ffc5ef23fb00.png)

Not sure what’s the best approach to this. I added the existing empty state help text from their respective “full page” for now. The bookmarks one might be too long for a quick access panel.
