Tired of navigating through the SharePoint jungle just to get to Site Settings, Style Library or the Master Page and Page Layouts Gallery? Remember this moment, because it's the last time you've done it. Proudly introducing: the SharePoint developer bookmarklets.
Bookmarklets are tiny pieces of JavaScript residing in your favorites. While bookmarklets are heavily used by various social sites, I really haven't seen anyone using them for any developer purpose.
While working on various projects I've been creating bookmarks to different places within that specific site: Site Settings, Style Library, Web Part Gallery – just to keep myself of clicking a few times from going to that particular location. The biggest downside of that approach was that these bookmarks were bounded to one project: as you know each bookmark begins with http(s), so you cannot create a relative bookmark. But then I thought: why not creating SharePoint bookmarklets?
Below you'll find some of the bookmarklets I've made. You can use them by simply dragging and dropping the links onto your bookmarks bar (in IE6 right mouse button on the link > Add to Favorites… > Create In > Links). If you have any other ideas for new bookmarklets: let me know so I will add it here. Like this we will be sure that the SharePoint community is now even more productive!

Sweet! I'll definitely be trying these out!

Heads up on the accidental two "Site Settings" listed under the header "Site". Think the second one should be Site Features?

You're right TJ! Fixing it right away
Thanks for the feedback

Thanks Waldek, great job on these, I use them every day!
Just wanted to let you know the ZIP version does not have the same link for Navigation as your live version on the Web page.

@Greg: thanks for the feedback. I'll check that out.

Hi Waldek,
the links provided to the SP Developer bookmarks do not work for me. I get a 404 error.
Regards
Ger

@Ger Aben: I've just checked it. It seems all right. Sure you haven't copied it from somewhere missing some part of it?

Dear Mr. Mastykarz, what a wonderful thing you have created! I recently learned about bookmarklets and had begun to make my own and then I stumbled across your site and found everything there I ever wanted! You are making my job much more enjoyable! Thank you so much!
