ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rails-oceania/shortcuts

To prepare your application, run script/generate shortcuts to copy the necessary javascript file to the public/javascripts directory of the application.

Make sure you include either javascript_include_tag :defaults or javascript_include_tag 'shortcuts' somewhere in your HTML header.

You can now use fancy keyboard navigation just like Google does.

A simple navigation shortcut that will open a new url:

<%= shortcut 'p', projects_url %>

To register an ajax shortcut:

<%= remote_shortcut 'd', delete_project_url(@project) %>

To register an arbitrary javascript function:

<%= shortcut_function 'a', "alert('hello world');" %>

Shortcuts depends on the Prototype javascript library that is included with Rails.

There is currently no advanced documentation for this plugin.
