| Jul 29, 2014 at 12:47 | comment | added | Tim | It could be changed but i do use paste a lot | |

I think [download], [install] and [paste] are a bit of an overkill. How much do those get used comments for that exact meaning? And what would happen if someone wrote something like the following: [download](http://some.link/to/download/some/application/) or if that gets taken care of, missing something in the markup like: [download]http://some.link/to/download/some/application/) would make the download point to Ubuntu which makes it worse. My point is that those are too generic and can mean a lot of things to be used as quick links.

I could have sworn that pad.lv was available as a shortener for linking to Launchpad that requires no special action for use. For example, http://pad.lv/ppa/skellat/tests gives the same expanded output as ppa:skellat/tests.

| Jul 28, 2014 at 12:40 | comment | added | Tim | "[launchpad] is cool" would show as "launchpad is cool" without having to type the (launchpad.net) part | |

So it would detect ppa:peterlevi/ppa and make it link to https://launchpad.net/~peterlevi?

Example: Ask Ubuntu and Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow, typed as [ubuntu.se] and [se] and [so]
