There are two kinds of Shortcuts inside The WELL
Shortcut Box
Find the text entry box labeled Shortcut on your navigation toolbar. By entering
text commands into this box, followed by the return or enter key, you have some of the the most-used navigation and conversation tools at your fingertips.
| Shortcut |
Result |
|
| add |
Enter add conferencename to add a conference to your list ("My Conference List") for navigational convenience. For example: add
pets adds the Pets Conference to your list so you can see when it has new activity, and visit easily.
|
|
| b, browse |
|
|
b conferencename puts you into a Conference to "browse" its page of topic titles.
For example: b arts lets you see the topic list of the Arts Conference. Click on a topic to go over into the conference.
b since -number will list topics
that have had new responses in the past specified number of
days. This command acts on the conference where you are now.
For example:
b since -5 will show topics with
posts from within 5 days in the conference where you are now.
b "keyword" will list topics in the
conference you are in now that include a particular part of a
word, word, or phrase in the title. For example, b
"Da Vinci" will yield all topics with
Da Vinci in the title. The quotation marks are
necessary.
b for will list topics you have forgotten because you previously decided not to display them. Click Recent or All in the upper toolbar to go back to your list of topics in the conference.
|
|
| bio |
bio username displays a community member's
short profile and "plan" statement. For example: bio puffball, where puffball is a login name.
|
|
| fixseen |
fixseen conferencename will mark all topics
in a conference as if they have been seen by you. For example: fixseen pets marks all topics in the Pets Conference as if they were seen. It is especially useful after taking a vacation from a high volume conference.
|
|
| forget |
forget conferencename topicnumber will
remove a topic from your view of the topic list. For example: forget pets 112 blocks topic 112 in the Pets Conference from your view on future visits. To include
the topic in your list of active topics again, enter remember
conferencename topicnumber. Reload the page with the topic list if you wish to
see your changes immediately.
|
|
| g, go |
go conferencename is a simple way to go to a conference directly from anywhere you can see the shortcut box. For
example, g writers (all lower-case) takes you to the Writers Conference.
- g conferencename topicnumber
takes you directly into a particular topic in a conference.
- g conferencename topicnumber reponsenumber goes to a specific post.
- g confname topicnumber postnumber- will show all posts including and after that post. For example, g welltech 370 1422-. Note the trailing dash.
- g confname topicnumber earlypostnumber-laterpostnumber will show a limited post number range. For example, g welltech.370.1422-1422
- You may also use the dot-separated notation format of g confname.topicnumber.postnumber For example, g welltech.370.1422

|
| link confname topicnumber to myconfsname |
link is a host-only command available to hosts of Featured Conferences who wish to make a topic in another conference also part of the conference they host, indicated as myconfsname. The permission of the host of the second conference is obtained, then the host uses link confname topicnumber to myconfsname to incorporate the new material. (Ask the hosts if they would be willing to link in a topic if you feel it would enrich a conference.)
|
|
| n |
n goes to to the next conference
containing new discussion items on "My Conference List."
|
|
| pre |
pre conferencename
preserves a topic as unread.
pre conferencename topicnumber
responsenumber preserves the responses in the specified
topic after the number selected as unread. For example,
pre arts 413 will keep the same new posts starting at 413 flagged as new in topic
413 in the Arts Conference "new" for your next visit
to the conference, even if you just saw some of them. (Any additional newer posts added to that topic by then will also be part of the new material shown to you then.)
|
|
| remember |
remember topicnumber reinstates a
previously "forgotten" topic to your Recent and All
topic list displays.
|
|
| remove |
remove conferencename removes the designated
conference from "My Conference List". (See add.)
|
|
| s, see |
see displays specified posts,
such as:
see since # (days) conferencename displays new
responses posted in the last # of days in the conference (one
discussion at a time). For example s since 3
books will show as new responses that have been posted
within the last 3 days in the Books Conference.
see n conferencename displays the new responses,
one discussion topic at a time, in the conference you specify. This only works after you have
visited that conference at least once, since "new" refers to since your last visit.
For example, see n music
see conferencename takes you to that conference and displays the current topic list. For example: see media
takes you into the Media Conference and shows you the list of the topics with new responses there.

Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard Shortcuts: You can use Keyboard Shortcuts to move from conference to conference and topic to topic around your Conference List simply by typing a key on the page itself.
Hover your cursor over Keystrokes in the navigation bar for a list of keystrokes. They can be disabled and re-enabled on the Options page of your Settings.
Keyboard shortcuts are always ignored when you're in a text box, for example, creating a post or a
pseud or typing a command directly into the Shortcut Box. Keyboard shortcuts may interfere with
the operation of a few browser plugins and addons. In rare cases you may also have to turn off or adjust popup blockers for optimum performance. Opening new tabs may also interfere. These effects are temporary. If you don't get the action you expect, just click anywhere around the
page margins to give the focus back to your shortcuts.
