Content Creation Shortcuts
You can make custom shortcuts for creating new content items of
specific types by adding a quickCreateShortcuts
entry to one of the configuration files in
/etc/escenic/cue-web/
. The
quickCreateShortcuts
must contain an array of
definitions, each one defining the shortcut(s) for creating a
different type of content item. For example:
quickCreateShortcuts: - name: "Regular Story" keystroke: "r" quickCombo: ["ctrl+alt+r"] contentType: "regular-news-story" - name: "Developing Story" keystroke: "d" quickCombo: ['ctrl+alt+d'] contentType: "developing-story" - name: "Classic Story" keystroke: "c" quickCombo: ['ctrl+alt+c'] contentType: "story" - name: "Picture" keystroke: "p" quickCombo: ['ctrl+alt+p'] contentType: "picture"
The primary purpose of this configuration is to create custom
semantic shortcuts for content creation. Once you
have created at least one such shortcut, then the existing
Shift Shift C
(Create)
semantic shortcut will, instead of immediately displaying the
Create new dialog, display the semantic shortcuts
you have created, plus an N ...other content
types option that displays the Create
new dialog:
Selecting any of the custom shortcuts creates the new content item immediately.
You can, however, (as in the example shown above) create additional key combination shortcuts.
Each shortcut definition consists of the following properties:
name
(required)-
The label to use in the semantic shortcut dialog.
keystroke
(required)-
The semantic shortcut keystroke to follow
Shift Shift C
. You can use any key exceptN
. Omit this property if you only want to create a standard key combination shortcut. quickCombo
(optional)-
An alternative key combination shortcut. Make sure you avoid the combinations already used by CUE and the browser. Omit this property if you only want to create a semantic shortcut.
contentType
(required)-
The name of the content type to create.
