-I'd like to use a shortcut like \[[gnumach-1-branch ddb/db_expr.h]] to link to
-<http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnumach/ddb/db_expr.h?view=log&root=hurd&pathrev=gnumach-1-branch>.
+The plugin depends on [[mdwn]]. If you have
+disabled [[mdwn]], to get [[shortcut]] work, you need
+commit in a shortcuts.ext (ext is `rcs|creole|html|txt|etc`),
+and edit/patch [[shortcut]].
-* Dashes are not allowed in shortcut identifiers. Why?
+Maybe use the `default_pageext` is better than hardcode .mdwn?
-* The URL is rewritten to
- <http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnumach/ddb%2Fdb%5Fexpr%2Eh?view=log&root=hurd&pathrev=gnumach-1-branch>,
- which the remove server doesn't like. Mind the esacping of [^A-Za-z0-9].
- Might this be a problem of the web server?

-Also, I'd like to put the shortcut usages into backticks
--- `[[iki shortcuts]]` --
-to have them displayed in the usual backtick-formatting.
-That also doesn't work, but this is an already-reported issue, as far as I know.
+> done, it will use `default_pageext` now --[[Joey]]

+Instead of modifying the [[basewiki]]'s [[shortcuts]] file for local needs --
+thus copying it at some point and losing continuity with upstream enhancements --
+what about handling a `shortcuts-local.mdwn` or `shortcuts/local.mdwn` (if such
+a file exists in the wiki), and additionally process that one. Possibily a
+conditional `\[[!inline]]` could be used. --[[tschwinge]]
