Bring back shortcut/tabs for specific APIs

I have a handful of APIs that I search in regularly. In the old UI, I could just have those APIs loaded into my tabs.

While it is cool to be able to search "all" APIs in the new UI... I don't want to have to hunt down the Rails or Javascript entry in the huge list of search results.

I know I can choose the API I want to search in, but you added an extra click... which is a shame. I used to be able to select the Rails tab and start typing. Now I have to click the down arrow, find Rails in the popup, click it, then type my query. It takes longer, and for no good reason really.

Otherwise, nice update. It certainly feels a bit cleaner.

Can we add mobile dev APIs to the list? (Think Android, iPhone, Blackberry, webOS, etc).

Would make gotapi a nice resource for mobile developers like me :-)

Make tree optional

The tree on the left is no use to me, and I know some people like it. There should be a simple way to toggle it on and off.

bring tree back

Please bring tree with index back.
Well actually there is no need for tree anymore since breadcrumb + natural organization of any API will satisfy any navigational needs.
Tree is heavy and obstructs the view :) But if you still like and need tree - please vote here.

allow offline access / downloaded copy

I frequently write code while offline (e.g. on the train). It'd be useful to be able to access my APIs in a nice way even then.

Support multi-word searches from the URL

I'm trying to conduct a multi-word search from the location bar, but only the last word ends up getting included in the query string. All of these examples end up searching for 'getInfo' instead of 'flickr getInfo'..

http://beta.gotapi.com/flickr getInfo
http://beta.gotapi.com/flickr%20getInfo
http://beta.gotapi.com/flickr+getInfo
http://beta.gotapi.com/flickr/getInfo

In response to the @gotapi twitter suggestion to use OpenSearch or Ubiquity.. I'm actually using Queriac (http://queri.ac), which is kind of a location-bar-as-command-line tool (think yubnub), enhanced with javascripty goodness like Ubiquity. I should disclose that I'm partial to it because I built it ;)

Link API results to source code samples

For post-API search, add links to sample code for each API (or at least a quick-link for the search) - would work in conjunction with Krugle, et al.

HTML and CSS specs from W3C

Why should we read those w3schools one-paragraph recipes when we can use full featured specs with grammar and detailed explanation ? Without nasty ads...

Make left-side class navigation panel resizable

Currently, if you try and resize the side panel with the split-bar, it fails, and instead pops up with a JS alert that says "here". And then the entire screen is covered in a high z-indexed layer that prevents any use of the site, unless you refresh the page. (FF 3.0 - Ubuntu)

In the beta, improve keyboard navigation

A few things:

* When scrolling, keep a buffer around the selection so that the user always knows the context. See 'scrolloff' option in vim. The old drop down menus were superior in this regard.

(Actually, it would be great if the results didn't move at all until you were near the bottom of the screen, again, like vim)

* The mouse never releases selection focus after it attains it. You must actually move the mouse off the area to use the keyboard.

* Allow long presses of the arrow keys to repeat scrolling. Just like in your native operating system.

Since this is a resource for programmers, I think nailing the keyboard navigation will be appreciated by many.
