note jdporter <p> I like it. The true power of shortcuts comes from the <i>target website</i> having a useful search interface or fuzzy selection interface. If a monk can confidently predict that the thing(s) she wants to point people to will be found by entering [google://yet another perl conference|<c>[google://yet another perl conference]</c>] or [wp://quantum electrodynamics|<c>[wp://quantum electrodynamics]</c>] or [c2://You Arent Gonna Need It|<c>[c2://You Arent Gonna Need It]</c>] or [wolframalpha://10 choose 3|<c>[wolframalpha://10 choose 3]</c>], then having the shortcut is a win. </p><p> But if the monk has to navigate to the desired target page every time anyway, she can simply copy-and-paste the URL, and having a shortcut is not a win. </p> <p> <b>Update:</b> The shortcut has been implemented. Note that it is <c>wolframalpha</c> (or <c>wa</c>), but not <c>wolfram</c>. </p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-170442"> What is the sound of Windows?
