There are two kinds of Shortcuts inside The WELL
Shortcut Box
A text entry box labeled Shortcut appears on your navigation toolbar. By entering
text commands into this box, followed by the return or enter key, you have additional navigation and tools at your fingertips.

Result |
|
| add |
Enter add conferencename to add a conference to "My
Conference List" for navigational convenience. For example: add
pets adds the Pets Conference to you list so you can see when it has new activity, and visit easily.
|
|
| b, browse |
|
|
b conferencename puts you into a Conference to browse a page of topic titles.
For example: b arts lets you see the topic list of the Arts Conference.
b since -number days will list topics
that have had new responses in the past specified number of
days. This acts on the conference where you are now. For example:
b since -5 days will show topics with
posts from within 5 days in the conference where you are.
b "keyword" will list topics in the
conference you are in 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.
b for will list topics you have
"forgotten" because you previously decided not to display them.
|
|
| bio |
bio username displays a community member's
profile. For example: bio puffball, where puffball is a WELL 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 to
see your changes immediately.
|
|
| g, go |
g conferencename is the simple way to go to a conference. For
example, g writers (all lower-case) takes you to the Writers
Conference. g conferencename topicnumber
takes you directly into a particular topic there.
|
|
| n |
n moves you into the next conference
containing new discussion items on "My Conference List."
|
|
| pre |
pre conferencename preserves the a topic
as unread. pre conferencename topicnumber
responsenumber preserves the responses in the
topic after the number selected as unread. For example,
pre arts 413 will keep the same new posts in topic
413 in the Arts Conference "new" for your next visit
to the conference.
|
|
| 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 #days in the conference (one
discussion at a time). For example s since -3 days
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, from
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 life
see conferencename takes you to that conference and displays the current topic list. For example: see media
takes you to the Media Conference and shows you the current topics there.

Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard Shortcuts can be disabled and re-enabled on the General Options
page of your
Settings. Simply by typing a key on the page itself, you can use keystrokes to move from conference to
conference and topic to topic around your Conference List.
Keyboard shortcuts are always ignored when you're creating a post or a
pseud or typing a command directly into the Shortcut Box. In addition, 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.
