#060: Cobalt

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/cobalt

The Cobalt module allows to quickly navigate though Drupal only using a keyboard (ie: typing your destination rather than using menus).

  • Who: Technical and non-technical users but people who use Drupal for hours on end will get the most benefit
  • When: Use this module when you know where you want to go but don't want to wade through tons of menus to find the link.
  • Where: You can configure the hotkeys for this module at /admin/settings/cobalt but by default it's control-space
  • Why: Looking through menus for the one link you want is slow when you know where you are going. I find it much easier to type "control-space content" to go to the content listing screen then looking around different menus. Also, you can assign hot keys for commonly used tasks.

You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.
