30 Boxes Accelerator Keys
Monday 10 July 2006If you use 30 Boxes — the to-do list or the calendar — this is for you. 30 Boxes Accelerator Keys is a Greasemonkey script I’ve written to allow one-key keyboard shortcuts to 30 Boxes, for quick access to most of its features.
You can, for instance, press T to get your To Do Items, W to go to the Webtop, or J and K to scroll through your calendar. (Incidentally, the lack of scrolling with J and K was the initial reason for writing this
)
Update: New keys added. You can now use F to find any event in your calendar from any 30 Boxes screen. ‘I’ jumps to Today.
Here is the complete list of keyboard shortcuts:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| T | To Do Items |
| W | Webtop |
| C | Calendar |
| F | Find |
| Q | Quick Add (One Box) |
| J | Scroll to Past Events (in Calendar View) |
| K | Scroll to Future Events (in Calendar View) |
| I | Go to Today |
| E | Close To Do Items etc. (like Esc) |
| N | Add New Event |
| B | Toggle Buddy Updates in the Webtop |
| H | Help on Keyboard Shortcuts |
Typically all these keys will work on just about any 30 Boxes screen. If you’re looking at your To Do Items for instance, you can hit W to change the background of the To Do List to the Webtop while still showing your To Do’s, and can revert back to your calendar by pressing C. While still at your To Do’s, you can press E to close the “window”, or hit F if you need to find an event in your calendar.


Excellent!
I will blog this on 30B soon. Nice work. We are retooling the webtop a bit so you may be able to add one or two more…
excellent gm script!! i posted in the 30b forums, too, but thought you should get a little more love here.
my requests are (1) key for “Today,” and (2) key for the search box.
i LOVE the quickjump to the onebox!!! the tabindex works 90% of the time, but this solution is great!
Just wanted to let you know I updated your GM script a little bit to use the new week view they added. Not much, but just keeping it up to date. Link is in the topic you made on 30b forums!
also just letting everyone who comes here know that the script has been updated by both zach and me. current files can be found in the 30boxes forums: http://30boxes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1810
i also added the script to userscripts.org with a link to this blog post as the script’s homepage.
ciao! hh
