How can i make my own Autocomplete shortcut?

[J D]

Hi,

I just found the docs for Keyboard Shortcuts. Is there a way to make your own autocomplete shortcuts? like for the user mentions  @ and the macro { ?

Also ther is a Shortcut Module is there something similiar for autocompletes?

Or any idea how it works? I found the "confluence-keyboard-shortcuts-5.6.4.jar" but cant find the jar which is responsible for the autocomplete actions.

Eventually @Joe Clark [Atlassian] or @Nic Brough [Adaptavist] know something?

Thank you all in advance. 

J.D.

There's no pluggable module for auto-complete short-cuts - if you want to build something like that, you'll need to download the source code for Confluence and crack open the editor's JavaScript code.

Most of the functionality of the Confluence editor is actually built as tinymce plugins, so even though it's not natively supported through the Atlassian Plugin framework, it should be technically feasible for you to add your own autocomplete shortcut in - assuming that you can work out how to do it

Currently i have a developer version (from the Atlassian SDK) installed. can i reach the Editors Code from here? Otherwise i have to go to my Licence Manager and ask him to download it :)

If the answer is yes for the Atlassian SDK where should it be? in which folder? and what name does it have? Thanks in advance :)

You need to download the source package associated with your license on my.atlassian.com - so yes I think that does mean going to your license manager :) The download should be accessible from https://my.atlassian.com/download/source/confluence

@J D14 Did you manage to add your own shortcut ? I would like to do something similar.
