XWiki Keyboard Shortcuts

Since XWiki Enterprise version 1.4M1, you can use keyboard shortcuts to use some xwiki features. Keyboard shortcuts help you save time since you never have to take your hands off the keyboard to use the mouse.

Adding your own shortcuts

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
  shortcut.add("Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N", function() { alert("Hey there! Congratulations on typing this one ;)"); });
//]]>
</script>

Complete documentation.

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
  shortcut.remove("Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N");
//]]>
</script>
