## Summary Adds a contextual `D + <letter>` chord pattern for jumping between Database sub-pages, mounted only while `DatabaseLayout` is active. Establishes the pattern we can repeat for other sections (Auth, Storage, Functions, etc.). Linear: [FE-3140](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/FE-3140/define-subnavigation-pattern-for-database-management-page) ## Pattern - Chords are 2-key sequences (`D`, `<letter>`) — no global leader, no `G` prefix. - Registration is contextual: `<DatabaseNavShortcuts />` lives inside `DatabaseLayout`, so the leading `D` is only "owned" while the user is under `/project/<ref>/database/*`. Doesn't burn a global key. - Hover tooltips on each sub-menu item show the chord, anchored to the label text (Linear-style). Powered by `<ShortcutTooltip>` already used in the main nav. - Items hidden by feature flags (Roles, Column Privileges, Replication) auto-disable the chord — no muscle-memory navigating to a 404. ## Shortcuts added | Sub-page | Chord | Notes | |---|---|---| | Tables | `D T` | | | Functions | `D F` | | | Triggers | `D R` | t**R**iggers — `T` taken by Tables | | Indexes | `D I` | | | Extensions | `D X` | e**X**tensions | | Schema Visualizer | `D V` | | | Enumerated Types | `D E` | | | Publications | `D U` | p**U**blications — avoids collision with Schema Visualizer's `D P` (Download as PNG) | | Column Privileges | `D C` | flag-gated | | Settings | `D ,` | mirrors global `G ,` for project settings — avoids collision with Schema Visualizer's `D S` (Download as SVG) | | Replication | `D L` | rep**L**ication — flag-gated | | Roles | `D O` | r**O**les — flag-gated | | Backups | `D B` | platform-only | | Migrations | `D M` | | External-link sub-menu items (Policies, Wrappers, Webhooks, Security Advisor, Performance Advisor, Query Performance) are intentionally not chorded — they route out of `/database/*` and don't belong to the section's namespace. ## Collision audit Other shortcuts active on database pages (table-list, schema-visualizer) were checked against the new chords: - **Schema Visualizer** (`/database/schemas`): `D P` (Download PNG), `D S` (Download SVG), `O A`, `O S`. Publications and Settings were remapped to `D U` and `D ,` to avoid the `D P` / `D S` clashes. - **List pages** (`/database/tables`, etc.): `Shift+F`, `Shift+N`, `O S`, `F C` — no overlap with `D + <letter>`. ## Files - `state/shortcuts/registry/database-nav.ts` — new registry module with the 14 chord definitions. - `state/shortcuts/registry.ts` — spreads the new IDs/definitions into the canonical registry. - `components/interfaces/DatabaseNavShortcuts.tsx` — null-rendering hook component that wires `useShortcut` for each chord, keyed off `useGenerateDatabaseMenu` so URLs and feature gating stay in sync with the sidebar. - `components/layouts/DatabaseLayout/DatabaseLayout.tsx` — mounts the component. - `components/layouts/DatabaseLayout/DatabaseMenu.utils.tsx` — tags each menu item with its `shortcutId`. - `components/ui/ProductMenu/ProductMenu.types.ts` — adds optional `shortcutId?: ShortcutId` field. - `components/ui/ProductMenu/ProductMenuItem.tsx` — renders the hover tooltip when an item has a `shortcutId`, anchored to the label span. ## Test plan - [ ] On `/project/<ref>/database/tables`, press `D F` — navigates to `/database/functions`. - [ ] On `/project/<ref>/database/schemas`, press `D P` — downloads the PNG (Schema Visualizer wins, no nav conflict). - [ ] On `/project/<ref>/database/schemas`, press `D U` — navigates to `/database/publications`. - [ ] On `/project/<ref>/database/tables`, press `D ,` — navigates to `/database/settings`. - [ ] Hover any sub-menu item with a chord — pill appears next to the label after ~1s. - [ ] On a project with the Replication flag off — `D L` does nothing. - [ ] Navigate to `/auth` — pressing `D F` does nothing (chord unmounts with the layout). - [ ] Type `D` then `F` slowly inside an input — does not navigate (input-focus guard).

How it works
Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.
Architecture
Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.
- Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
- Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
- PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
- GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
- Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
- pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
- postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
- Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.
Client libraries
Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
