Browser ShortcutsNote: There is now a tutorial video available. Uses of these shortcuts include being used for using specially enabled features of web browsers (or other applications) to allow the user to type a shortcut representing a specific book followed by a string (such as a page or paragraph number or search item) and then be brought to that page or paragraph of the book (or to a set of search results within that item), in most cases to a page of the Sacred Writings here at Bahá'í Library Online. For example, you might type control-L (or command-L) to be brought to your browser's URL window, then type a shortcut (say, "gwb" for the book Gleanings) followed by a space and a page number (say, "52"), and the program would bring you to bahai-library.com/writings/bahaullah/gwb/gleaningsall.html#52 , or in other words, to page 52 of Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh here at Bahá'í Library Online In addition to the abbreviations above, adding the letter "p" to the shortcuts will usually bring one to a paragraph number for the text, if paragraphs exist in the document in question (e.g., "kap" could be used for "Kitáb-i-Aqdas paragraph"). In a few cases, "s" is used similarly to denote a section (e.g., "gwbs" for a section number of Gleanings). If you prefer to get quickly to the Writings from menus rather than having to remember shortcuts, you might be interested in using Jump-to-page site which has a menu of all of the Sacred Writings, and then one simply needs to type a page (or paragraph or section) number and hit return to go to it directly.
RSS might also be of interest to power users. Browser-specific instructionsFor Chrome, follow the steps here. (There is also an extension which may offer more features, but it requires you to add the individual search engines manually.) Firefox/Mozilla provides this functionality through Smart Keywords (formerly "Custom Keywords"). You can:
Some Firefox add-ons are also available:
While I have not used these myself, it appears there are a few extensions you could use to get this functionality for Firefox: Some search engines, like DuckDuckGo themselves allow "bang" shortcuts which include some predefined searches, but in this case, any new shortcuts apply site-wide and require the search engine's approval.Wiki ShortcutsOur wiki site has added these abbreviations to our "interwiki" list, so that it is possible for one to use the shortcuts in place of URL's within the wiki code. For example, to link to page 15 of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, one simply needs to type [[ka:15|]] into the wiki edit window (the double-brackets make a link and the pipe symbol after the number is shorthand for saying that the text preceding the pipe but after the colon is what should appear as the face of the link).
