I’ve updated my Shortcut Macros WordPress plugin with minor changes to make it work a little better with the latest versions of the WordPress admin interface.
Shortcut Macros allows you to define letter combinations that will expand to longer words, URLs, phrases, etc. For example, if you are tired of writing the entire link to WordPress.org:
<a href=”http://wordpress.org/” rel=”external”>WordPress</a>
you could set up a macro for it, something like:
##wp
Then you can just type the macro into your blog post and it will automatically be expanded for you.
The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.
If you have any trouble with this, please contact the WordPress HelpCenter or you can try the WP Support Forums.
