This user script allows you to use "hotkeys" to enter certain hard-to-type characters or commonly used phrases in text boxes. It was originally written to allow easily entering the right-arrow (→) into the edit summary field, as this character is especially useful in edit summaries and is hard to enter. Now simply typing Ctrl > produces the arrow. Later, the script was updated to allow using the same hotkeys in the main edit field.
To install this script, just add something like the following to your personal JavaScript page. This also defines some custom hotkeys to augment and override the defaults, but that part is optional.
importScript("User:GregU/hotkeys.js");
hotkeys = {
'b' : 'Brooks was here',
'l' : '',
's' : '§',
't' : '{| class="wikitable"\n! header\n! header\n|-\n| data\n| data\n|}\n'
}
This sets Ctrl-B to enter "Brooks was here", the default Ctrl-L hotkey is disabled (reverting back to the default Firefox behavior), Ctrl-S enters the section symbol, and Ctrl-T enters a table skeleton.
If you forget what hotkeys are defined, type Ctrl ? to list them all.

Deprecated
This script no longer loads correctly, here is an updated version that works. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:15, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
e keys (e.g., r), both Altand Alt+⇧ Shift work; For other keys (e.g. f), only Alt+⇧ Shift works; For other keys (e.g. .), only Alt works.
in some versions you may then need to press ↵ Enter
