Hotkey for History view

[cmueller]

Is there a hotkey like "E" to edit a page to open the history view of an page?

[Darryl Lee]

I made a Bookmarklet that can show you History for the page you are on:

javascript:location.href=location.href.replace(/\/pages\/(\d+)\//, "/history/$1/");

Basically it replaces "pages" in the URL of the page you are currently on with "history", so this:

https://YOURSITE.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HELP/pages/950274/How-to+articles

Becomes this:

https://YOURSITE.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HELP/history/950274/How-to+articles

And Confluence doesn't care about anything after the pageId.

So if you create a Bookmark in your Bookmarks Bar and then replace the location with the code above, you can get to History by clicking on that bookmark.

I then tried mapping it to a keyboard shortcut it with the Bookmarks Shortcut Extension but apparently that doesn't work with Bookmarklets. :-{

You could probably use the same code to make a "hotkey" script that works with Tampermonkey.

Hi, @cmueller - unfortunately there's not a shortcut for that. You can see a list of available shortcuts by clicking the Help icon in the top right and choosing Keyboard Shortcuts:

Thank you for the fast response.

Feature request:

Would it be possible to add “H” as a hotkey to get the page history more quickly?

@cmueller the place to suggest a feature is not the Community site; you can post a feature request in Atlassian's own Jira. Here's the link for JSW Cloud suggestions.
