1 Ah, this is something I've been meaning to look into adding for a while.
3 I think it might be a good idea to make the page that configures the
4 shortcuts be a regular page in the wiki, as was done with the smilies
5 plugin. Of course, it would need to avoid abuse since anyone could edit it
6 then (unless it were locked).
8 The other thing that I wondered as I looked at this is, why add a new
9 syntax for the shortcuts? It would be less complex, and probably easier to
10 implement if it used an existing syntax. The shortcuts could just use a
11 preprocessor directive:
13 \[[shortcut dbug 30303]]
15 If that's not short enough, it would be possible to register a preprocessor
16 directive per shortcut, yeilding this syntax:
20 Unless I'm missing something and a "walf expression" is something already
21 standard across wikis, this approach seems cleaner and easier to learn for
26 Update: I've added a "shortcut" plugin that works as described above.
