This page last changed on Dec 17, 2009 by ggaskell.
Shortcut links provide a quick way of linking to resources frequently referenced from Confluence. When you create a shortcut link, you are assigning a key to a URL so that when a user edits Confluence documents they can type the key instead of the complete URL. Here is an example: Most Google searches look like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=. If you create a shortcut for this search with the key 'google', every time a user needs to use http://www.google.com/search?q=searchterms, they can just type [searchterms@google] instead. Here is a screenshot showing the shortcuts currently defined on http://confluence.atlassian.com: Shortcut links are added and maintained by Confluence administrators from the Administration Console.
