User talk:GregU/hotkeys.js

This user script allows you to use "hotkeys" to enter certain hard-to-type characters or commonly used phrases in text boxes. It was originally written to allow easily entering the right-arrow (→) into the edit summary field, as this character is especially useful in edit summaries and is hard to enter. Now simply typing Ctrl-> produces the arrow. Later, the script was updated to allow using the same hotkeys in the main edit field.

To install this script, just add    to your monobook.js page. This will enable the default hotkeys defined in the script. To add your own hotkey definitions or override the defaults, add this to your monobook.js:

This sets Ctrl+B to enter "Brooks was here", the default Ctrl+L hotkey is disabled (reverting back to the default Firefox behavior), Ctrl+S enters the section symbol, and Ctrl+T enters a table skeleton.
