I’m a keyboard-short-cut whore, feel me roar!

1. Enter username (shouldn’t have to tab as your cursor should already be there)
2. Hit tab
3. Enter password
4. Control-R (access key to check the remember me checkbox)
5. Control-S (access key for “submit” throughout the app)

I visit the docs so often I made a Firefox shortcut for it.

To go to the docs for the tag <$mt:Entries$> I type the following into the location bar:

docs entries

and then I’m redirected to:

http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/tags/entries.html

BAM!

Here’s a screenshot of how you set it up. Basically you use %s to grab the string after the keyword.

What the f*ck is cgi-bin mt mt cgi?

Apparently that doesn’t make sense Mr. Client.

So I updated his .htaccess file with this:

Redirect /admin http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi?blog_id=1

Now he points his browser to http://www.domain.com/admin and he is redirected to his blog in his MT install.

Then he decided he didn’t want to type, just click… but didn’t want a link to “admin” visible on his site… so I made an invisible one.

So just after the date that appears on every entry in his blog, we linked a non-breaking space to his install:

<a href="http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi?blog_id=1">&nbsp;</a>
