+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]]
