Re^3: graphicsmagick perl shrink image to size

G'day Bod,

You're welcome.

To be honest, except for links within this site (e.g. [id://11123653|Bod] above; and [id://43036] for the shortcuts links I posted), and very basic external URLs (e.g. [URL]), I rarely use those shortcuts.

I normally check the webpage and section first; my guesses are generally good but I'm not infallible. When writing up my post, I'll type "["; Alt-Tab to the webpage and copy the address bar; Alt-Tab again and paste; type "|"; Alt-Tab again and copy the title; Alt-Tab again and paste; type "]" and I'm done.

This potentially seems like a lot of work but, with over a decade of muscle memory at my fingertips, this is a two second task. Furthermore, I'll never provide a link to splice labelled split, or vice versa, again.

— Ken

Hi kscott, I always post links by opening the site in another window, switching between them with Alt+Tab. But then I type in the HTML `a` tag with the appropriate `href`. In the case of links to Perl modules, muscle memory makes it easy as I paste the URL then Ctrl+Shift left arrow to grab the module name before closing the tag. It's quick enough but I shall give the `[cpan://Module::Name]` syntax a go as that's got to be quicker still...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Whith links outside Perlmonks, I see no problem here, but in the case of intra-Perlmonks links, it is actually better to use the `[id://…` variant. Some monks are logged in at https://perlmonks.org/, some at https://www.perlmonks.org/, some at https://perlmonks.com/, https://www.perlmonks.com/, https://perlmonks.net/ or https://www.perlmonks.net/, but more often than not, at a different variant than you, so they aren't logged in for those pages.

There are occasional times when I don't use the ID - usually because I want to supply some different link text. In such cases I only link to the path, not the domain, to keep it portable - `/index.pl?node_id=3333;parent=11138366`	[reply] [d/l]
