Your favorite shortcut
What is your favorite time saving "shortcut"
For instance, setting up keywords for your firefox bookmarks, or an icon in the quick launch bar in windows, that when clicked opens up explorer to a folder you specified
(I put %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,C:\path\path as the shortcut's target)
Another time saving thing I do is google's home page, I use the links thing to add my most visited links, so when I launch firefox I get google search, a link to devnetwork and a few of my other most visited sites, everythings 1 click away.
Share your time saving things!!

I would write a script to go and convert all your ternary's into a standard conditional construct if I had to read your codeonion2k wrote:I particularly like nesting ternary if..else statements. Noone who reads my code later likes me doing it though.
Ternary's? Good idea for simple conditionals, nesting them? are you insane?
For me, I have on my Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard/Optical Mouse five buttons that I use for shortcutting my way through the webernet
First one links to redvsblue.com, second I have set to the devnet boards, third to a german dictionary website, fourth to gmail, the last goes to nothing in peticular as I really don't use that one yet...
Programmable buttons on keyboards.

Some keyboards have buttons to control volume and other stuff…
One of my old keyboards had a few programmable buttons that you could link to commands, like shortcuts, etc

PSX controller
My Friend had this programmable Playstation control – he programmed entire combos for TEKKEN III.
That is the height of laziness… plus it took the thrill away from the game….
I’m just bitter – I couldn’t beat him.

I have about 10 or 15 macros I wrote into UltraEdit all accessible by shortcuts. It’s pretty cool for code snippets that you typically write on a regular basis:
Alt-R Will print:
Alt-F will print:
...and more 
Alt-R Will print:
Code: Select all
echo '<HR><PRE>'; print_r($); echo '</PRE>';Code: Select all
echo '<HR><PRE>'; print_r(func_get_args()); echo '</PRE>';awesomehawleyjr wrote:I have about 10 or 15 macros I wrote into UltraEdit all accessible by shortcuts. It’s pretty cool for code snippets that you typically write on a regular basis:

Macro's
Macro's are cool... Makes it less frustrating.jshpro2 wrote:awesomehawleyjr wrote:I have about 10 or 15 macros I wrote into UltraEdit all accessible by shortcuts. It’s pretty cool for code snippets that you typically write on a regular basis:

That and code completion - Good for people who:
1. are lazy
2. have bad memory
3. cant spell (like me)
I code in Linux and I usually work in a particular directory. So, I wrote a short script 'gui' that automatically changes my directory to the passed argument, exports my display to my IP, runs Xemacs, and logs into MySQL. Saves me about 30 seconds.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
