[xwiki-devs] [UX] Tips&Tricks
Hi, I was thinking about what tips and tricks XWiki has, things that are not really that well documented but that are very productive and fun. Would be nice to have such an inspiring thread from which we could learn a lot and, why not, have fun experimenting :) If the thread is really useful we could also integrate these tips more clearly in our documentation or also we could have a tips panel inside XWiki Enterprise, for beginners/intermediate users. The tip structure could be: *Title: ** Level: ** Target: * *Description:* Thanks, Caty* *

*Title: *Using emoticons* Level:* Intermediate /* *Advanced* Target: *User *Since:* XE 2.6 *Description:* Did you know that you can have emoticons :) :P :D in your text? Just write the textual emoticons<http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise26#H3Icon2FEmoticonSupport>and they will be rendered in your saved page. If you want to use more diverse icons<http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/previews/index_abc.png>you will have to switch to XWiki 2.1 Syntax<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HChoosingaSyntax>and write something like image:icon:accept .

*Title:* Using Keyboard Shortcuts *Level: *Advanced *Target: *User / Developer / Admin *Since:* XE 1.4 *Description:* Did you know that you can save your page by pressing [Alt] + [Shift] + [S] ? XWiki has a variety of keyboard shortcuts that can be used depending on the context. There are shortcuts that can be used in the Wiki Editor, others that are specific to the WYSIWYG Editor, some can be used for the View mode or in the Edit mode. Read more about shortcuts<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/KeyboardShortcuts> . Some shortcuts are global and can be used by all users, while others are just specific to advanced users. In order to change your user type<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HAdvancedMode>you need edit your Profile Preferences. This will activate shortcuts like [H] that displays the page history or [O] that takes you inside the objects editor.
Thanks, Caty* *
