(Hyperwords is a Firefox Extension that makes all the words on the web interactive, for searches, references, emailing, blogging, tagging, translations and more. If you'd like to try it, it's available for download (for free) from <a href="http://www.hyperwords.net" rel="nofollow">www.hyperwords.net</a> ) Most of the time we are using the first letter as the keyboard shortcut, so that you can do 'rw' for 'Reference: Wikipedia' but it's not always that simple and there are cases where we are going for language like grammar 'Email; immediately' but this doesn't always make sense, for example with categories under 'Map'. It's not hard designing shortcuts without quirks! This is the problem we are having with trying to develop a command-key ‘language’ for Hyperwords.
