Abstract

An approach for using shortcut input to access or group documents is provided. The input may be mapped to opening or grouping the documents based on user preferences, and the documents may be displayed once the computer system detects the input of the shortcut input.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer program product for operating a computer using shortcuts, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer-readable storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage devices, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive user preferences including information detailing a first shortcut input, wherein the first shortcut input is a single action utilized by a user;
program instructions to map the first shortcut input to one or more documents based on the received user preferences;
program instructions to detect that the first shortcut input has been utilized; and
program instructions to display the one or more documents.

2. The computer program product of claim 1 , further comprising responsive to detecting that the first shortcut input has been utilized, the program instructions creates a group comprising the one or more documents.

3. The computer program product of claim 2 , wherein the program instructions maps the first shortcut input to one or more documents based on the received user preferences further comprises detection of opening of the one or more documents.

4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions creates the group based on similarities between the multiple documents.

5. The computer program product of claim 4 , wherein the one or more documents within the group are organized based on the received user preferences, and each of the one or more documents within the group are mapped to a corresponding second shortcut input within a plurality of second shortcut inputs.

6. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the received user preferences further include information detailing the mapping of the first shortcut input to an earlier opened document in a document branch of a document tree.

7. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the received user preferences further include information detailing the program instructions map the first shortcut input to a list of documents selected by the user.

8. A computer system for operating a computer using shortcuts, the computer system comprising:
one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive user preferences including information detailing a first shortcut input, wherein the first shortcut input is a single action utilized by a user;
program instructions to map the first shortcut input to one or more documents based on the received user preferences;
program instructions to detect that the first shortcut input has been utilized; and
program instructions to display the one or more documents.

9. The computer system of claim 8 , further comprising responsive to detecting that the first shortcut input has been utilized, the program instructions creates a group comprising the one or more documents.

10. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions creates the group based on similarities between the multiple documents.

11. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more documents within the group are organized based on the received user preferences, and each of the one or more documents within the group are mapped to a corresponding second shortcut input within a plurality of second shortcut inputs.

12. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the received user preferences further include information detailing the mapping of the first shortcut input to an earlier opened document in a document branch of a document tree.

13. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the received user preferences further include information that the program instructions map the first shortcut input to a list of documents selected by the user.
