It would be nice to be able to enter the uid instead of username when masquerading as another user.

Many times I'm looking at table data (via phpMyAdmin) that contains uid, but not username. So to masquerade as that user, I first have to find it in the users table.

Title: Add option to enter user id » Make username input field also accept user ID (instead of name)
Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 8.x-2.x-dev

I think this is a good idea.

My concern is supporting with themed usernames like with http://drupal.org/project/realname, so just clarifying this wouldn't switch to uid-only.

Oh yeah, sorry for the confusion. I definitely meant "in addition to". :)

The concrete use-case I'm commonly facing is that I only have a user's ID through the means of a support ticket from a completely separate helpdesk system. In such cases, it would be great if I could just simply paste the uid into the form field and hit ENTER.

removal of wrapper will break form
also removal of autocomplete is no-go, so should be added own controller

@sreenivasparuchuri Thanks! I could be great foundation for #1926876: Fix and rework the masquerade_advanced sub-module

Otoh I prefer to keep module slim so better to keep all UI additions separate

I bet current core allows to use view result as autocomplete so you just need to alter existing form

Technically is not API break but I'm sure that lots of custom modules and themes alters current keys in the form
