monkdiscuss Aristotle I've made myself a couple of Mozilla bookmarks with keywords that let me navigate the monastery as well as CPAN with very little hassle and thought I'd share. I've been using them for a while, and I can't imagine doing without these neat little helpers anymore. <readmore> <code> <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <TITLE>Keywords</TITLE> <H1>Keywords</H1> <DL> <DT><H3 ID="NC:BookmarksRoot#$e04aa1df">Keywords</H3> <DL> <DT><A HREF="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=%s" SHORTCUTURL="pm">Perl Monks Search</A> <DT><A HREF="http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=106&op=message&message=%s" SHORTCUTURL="pmc">Perl Monks Chat</A> <DT><A HREF="http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=106&op=message&message=/msg+put_your_username_here+[id://%s]" SHORTCUTURL="pmb">Perl Monks Bookmark</A> <DT><A HREF="http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&n=100&query=%s" SHORTCUTURL="cpan">CPAN Module query</A> <DT><A HREF="http://freshmeat.net/search/?section=projects&q=%s" SHORTCUTURL="fm">freshmeat.net</A> <DT><A HREF="http://www.freedb.org/freedb_search.php?allfields=NO&fields=artist&fields=title&allcats=YES&grouping=cats&words=%s" SHORTCUTURL="fd">freedb.org</A> <DT><A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=%s" SHORTCUTURL="gw">Google Web</A> <DT><A HREF="http://images.google.com/images?safe=off&q=%s" SHORTCUTURL="gi">Google Image</A> <DT><A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?svnum=100&cat=gwd/Top&q=%s" SHORTCUTURL="gd">Google Directory</A> <DT><A HREF="http://news.google.com/news?svnum=100&q=%s" SHORTCUTURL="gn">Google News</A> <DT><A HREF="http://groups.google.com/groups?num=100&q=%s" SHORTCUTURL="gg">Google Groups</A> </DL> </DL> </code> </readmore> To use, DL the code, save the file somewhere, search&replace "put_your_username_here" with your own username, go to Mozilla's bookmark manager and import it. You'll get a new folder "Keywords" in your bookmarks, and henceforth you'll have the following shortcuts available to type into the addressbar: <dl><dt>pm foo </dt><dd>Mnemonic for "Perl Monks". Go to node "foo". As always, you can also enter a node ID there. I usually "enter" the monastery by typing "pm 106" into my addressbar, bringing me to [id://106]. </dd><dt>pmc blah blah blah </dt><dd>Mnemonic for "Perl Monks Chat". You will utter "blah blah blah" onto the chatterbox. This is cool, though not very useful. </dd><dt>pmb 31415 </dt><dd>Mnemonic for "Perl Monks Bookmark". This needs a node ID, which it turns into an [id://31415] style link to /msg to yourself. Intended to be used while browsing, deleting the usual <tt>http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=</tt> prefix in the address bar and typing "pmb " in front of the node ID. </dd><dt>cpan Foo::Bar </dt><dd>Perform a CPAN module query for [cpan://Foo::Bar]. </dd></dl> As a freebie, you also get <tt>qw(gw gg gd gi gn)</tt> shortcuts for Google Web, Groups, Directory, Images and News searches, respectively, an fm shortcut for Freshmeat queries and an fd one for [http://freedb.org|freedb] searches. Have fun! Makeshifts last the longest. 20030403 Edit by [Corion]: <tt>s!\broot\b!put_your_username_here!</tt> (plus some other minor formattings)
