I very first saw the accelerators (the artists formerly acknowledged as things to do) for the period of The Code Trip, when Woody developed an IE8 activity for Wikipedia. It had been a hassle-free tool to possess with your right-click toolbox on IE and I cherished it (and even now do). Effectively, now that IE8 Beta 2 is out, I made a decision (very well,
Office 2010 Home And Business, my selfishness made a decision) that I should really construct an exercise accelerator for a little something that I use more often than not so I introduce you to: IE8 Accelerator for TinyURL. So having a minor XML,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus, it absolutely was executed. Significantly, like < 5 minutes. I ran into one problem with URL encoding, but Kevin at TinyURL fixed his end to handle the encoded URL information sent to his service. Kevin rocks. Critically. We’re nevertheless trying to figure out why his icon dosen’t display in the context menu, but he’s been super responsive and willing to try different random things on his end to help. Thanks Kevin. Basically you can select (highlight) text that is a URL and right-click (or choose the accelerator icon in IE8) then choose the “Shrink URL” option (I’m taking votes if this should really be “TinyURL-ify” instead). This will take your selection (or selected hyperlink) and send it to TinyURL. A simple,
Office 2010 Pro Plus, but hopefully useful accelerator for you to use. Here’s a little video demonstration: Oh,
Office 2007 Activation, and I also modified Woody’s Wikipedia one to meet the new specifications for the accelerator manfiest,
