ShortyCut

ShortyCut is a JavaScript application to quickly navigate to websites using keywords. Unlike browser bookmarks, the links and keywords are stored as plain text in a simple file:

`);

Links are opened by entering the corresponding keyword (e.g. ta or tr). Using ShortyCut's homepage is the easiest way to do this because it works in all browsers and provides suggestions while typing:

ShortyCut can also be set up as the browser's default search engine so that keywords can be entered directly in the address bar:

ShortyCut makes keywords available in all browsers, including those that don't natively support it. It enhances their capabilities with additional features like keywords with multiple links, support for POST pages, and the ability to dynamically generate shortcuts via JavaScript.
