Bookmarklets for SharePoint

I've started using bookmarklets to make my life incredibly easier when working with SharePoint. In order to configure webparts on a page, I had to go through several layers of menus. For some configurations, I needed to append querysting parameters to the URL. While these things aren't necessarily time-consuming or difficult, if you do it enough ... it gets old.

I have a bookmarklet that calls the javascript needed to put the Web Part page in the mode that I wanted. Here are a few examples (put the script into the URL field in a shortcut or favorite link):

• Put the web part page into 'Design' mode

javascript:MSOLayout_ToggleLayoutMode();

• Put the web part page into 'Browse' mode

javascript:MSOTlPn_ShowToolPane('2');

• Put the web part page into 'Import' web part mode

javascript:MSOTlPn_ShowToolPane('5');

These shortcuts are great time-savers
