DoTheRightThing-Talk

Possible features/changes I'd be interested in:

• Making the space before/after the colon optional rather than disallowed (before) or required (after)
  /^\\s*(\\S*)\\s*:[^\\S\n]*(\\S*)/m

• Using a regex instead of a fixed string to specify what gets matched on the left
  /(?:u(?:sd)?|d)2(?:all|l(?:eke)?)/: ...

RegExp keywords done, but need testing. Space before the ":" made optional, space after kept required (or the first "\S" selects everything). --Petko April 08, 2011, at 04:28 PM

What else are others using? —Peter Bowers January 22, 2011, at 03:28 PM

Here are some of my shortcuts. I think I'll add the Amazon search and the money convertor (I now google "123.4 USD in EUR"). --Petko January 22, 2011, at 04:03 PM

Note, international characters like "€" and "£" above may not work if your wiki is not using UTF-8.

You can find out the address of a custom search on any website. Perform a search for a string like "PMWIKI", then copy the url from your address bar. Paste the url to your DTRT page, replacing "PMWIKI" with "$1". --Petko January 22, 2011, at 04:18 PM
