  1. Please bring back the previous dark theme (before 1.38.0)

    I updated Compass to 1.38.0 (stable) on Windows. The new dark theme is too high contrast for me and I would like to switch back to the previous dark theme. Unfortunately the themes available in this version are "Light Theme" and "Dark Theme (preview)". At this point I would rather use the Light Theme than use this modern dark theme. Please bring back the previous dark theme in addition to the modern dark theme, or give us a way to customize the theme. Thank you.

  2. Save favorite collections for quick and easier access

    Working in a large company with many collections, while only several collections are relevant to your daily work can be a hassle.
    It'd be nice if there was a way to mark selected collections that would appear on top of all other collections or in a category, like the favorite connection strings or the saved queries

  3. Screen reader support

    Hello,

    Visually impaired users rely on a screenreader to have information read by a speech synthesizer or displayed on a braille display. Popular screen readers are VoiceOver on Mac OS as well as JAWS and NVDA on Windows or Orca on Linux Desktop.
    Currently, a screen reader isn't able to work properly with MongoDB Compass.

  4. Be able to save and restore the tabs complete with their existing queries, projections and sorting settings.

    The description is in the attached graphic. The gist is being able to save the Filter, Projection, Sort, Skip, Limit settings for each tab as a logically grouped set of tabs which I can give a meaningful name to and perhaps stores them on computer as a JSON file and I can reload that json file after connecting to a MongoDB and restore my tabs.

    Also, once you have this functionality, it would be nice since the application itself is written in Javascript to make a Microsoft Visual Studio Code plugin out of Compass as well so I can have…

  5. Visual rule builder for schema validation

    In Compass, it is possible to create validation rules to enforce a schema. It would be good to be able to generate these rules with a simple, visual editor, instead of having to know the MQL or JSON Schema syntax for the validation rules.

  6. support atClusterTime in ISO time format

    Currently atClusterTime https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/read-concern-snapshot/#read-concern-and-atclustertime has to be specified in Unix timestamp. It would be great if it could support more human format for example ISO format.

  7. refresh

    I would like to propose new functionality to auto-refresh a collection in MongoDB Compass. For example, if I am waiting for a document to update, today I have to click refresh repetitively until the document has updated. I would like to set auto-refresh with a filter in place to be able to watch the collection as documents are updating, instead of having to click the refresh button every ~5 seconds. 

    Steps to follow:
    - Log into MongoDB
    - Open to view a collection 
    - Filter by some criteria, and click Find 
    - Click Refresh icon to reload the documents in…

  8. Expand all in JSON view should be brought back

    When in JSON view, we can previously expand all properties inside a document node by using CTRL+LEFT CLICK (or ALT+LEFT CLICK, i've forgotten).

    This feature was removed within the last year.

  9. Use tab to validate auto-completion

    Regression in version 1.36.2: it's no longer possible to validate auto-completion using "tab" key. Only "Enter" now works

  10. Display collection name and namespace on separate lines

    If you have a longish DB/namespace name, the labels on the tabs become pretty useless, as all they say is "Documents (verylongdbnamewhichiknowalready)" and there's no room for the name of the collection.

    This forces me to navigate through tabs to find the collection I was querying.
    I feel that the "Documents" or whatever main label is on the tabs can be communicated via the tab icon only.

    The name of the namespace could either be hidden entirely and shown only on the tab body, or shown on a separate line from the collection name.

  11. mongosh should be its own tab at the top with output options

    I hate how mongosh is at the bottom. It makes it rather hard to see the results as it involves lots of scrolling, I end up having to write a js file and using mongosh in the terminal.
    It would be good if it was it's own tab at the top and give options to view the output differently.
    The best example I can give is how the robo3t does it. When the data can't be viewed as a tree or table, it just outputs it in text mode.

    Something like this is super handy for developers and makes it…

  13. Tabs are too easy to close, X should always be visible

    It's too easy to close collection tabs at the moment with the most recent update. I should be able to click almost anywhere on my tab to navigate, not 1/4 or 1/5 being overtaken by an "X" that only appears on hover.

  16. Linux ARM 64 builds (Apple M1)

    The linux support of the apple M1 and following chips is getting better in a fast pace. Would be great if mongodb compass could be used on such a device / operating system combo.

  18. CTRL+F in results

    Implement a CTRF+F function to allow "text search" in results page (like in a Browser)

    example : In a collection, I use "Filter" field to search document and compass returns 15 documents. I hit CTRL+F and I can search a field name or a value and navigate between.

  19. Keyboard shortcut to change DB/Collection

    It would be nice to have a Cmd/Ctrl + P or Cmd/Ctrl + K shortcut like in VS Code or Slack to quickly switch to a different collection or database without having to click around as much.
