Drupal OpenDNS Shortcuts

Parent Feed: 

OpenDNS logoFor a while I had been using the OpenSearch browser plugins to help me search Drupal.org, and different versions of the Drupal APIs. But now I have found an even better method using OpenDNS. If you are not using the OpenDNS service already, I highly suggest you do! Not only does it provide fast and reliable DNS lookups, typo correction, and anti-phishing protection, but also a handy little feature called shortcuts, which lets you map a short term to a long URL via the address bar. This feature is pretty identical to FireFox's Smart Keywords, but they will work on any computer and any browser! As a Drupal developer, I have found the following shortcuts very useful to quickly get to certain areas on drupal.org:

So if I type "dpi path_redirect" in my browser's address bar, I will automatically be directed to http://drupal.org/project/issues/path_redirect. Do you have any handy shortcuts that you use? Please comment and share them!
