    </h2>
    <p>
      XOWA has pre-defined shortcuts to different wikis. These allow quick access to an article in another wiki without entering in the full url.
    </p>
    <p>
      For example, to open the English Wikipedia article on "Earth", you would ordinarily enter:
    </p>
<pre>
 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
</pre>
    <p>
      Instead, using shortcuts, you can enter:
    </p>
<pre>
 w:Earth
</pre>
    <p>
      Note that shortcuts are case-sensitive. "w:Earth" will work, but "W:Earth" will not.
    </p>
    <p>
      The following table lists the shortcut for a given wiki type:
    </p>
    <table class='wikitable'>
      <tr>

    </h2>
    <p>
      Wikis in a non-English language can be opened by prefixing the language code to the shortcut.
    </p>
    <p>
      For example, to go to <code>fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terre</code>, you would enter the following:
    </p>
<pre>
 fr.w:Terre
</pre>
    <p>
      Note that <code>fr</code> is the language code for "French" and <code>w</code> is the XOWA type code for "Wikipedia" as defined above.
    </p>
    <h2>
      <span class="mw-headline" id="Search_shortcut">Search shortcut</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      In addition, there is a special shortcut designed for search.
    </p>
<pre>
 ?:Earth
</pre>
    <p>
      This is equivalent to:
    </p>
<pre>
 Special:Search/Earth?fulltext=yes
</pre>

      <span class="mw-headline" id="Customizing_shortcuts">Customizing shortcuts</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      XOWA also allows customization of shortcuts by modifying the custom gfs file. See: <a href="/wiki/Special:XowaCfg%3Fgrp%3Dxowa.app.startup" id="xolnki_2" title="Special:XowaCfg?grp=xowa.app.startup">Options: App - Startup</a>
    </p>
    <p>
      Shortcuts should be chosen wisely. In particular, using "http", "https" and "file" as a shortcut is heavily discouraged. Similarly, "Category", "Talk", "Help", "Template", "Wikipedia" and other wiki namespaces should be avoided.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>NOTE</b>: The following script may change in future versions. If your customized shortcut stops working in a future version, please check this page again.
