## 10 QuickURL: Inserting URLs Based on Text at Point

`M-x quickurl` can be used to insert a URL into a buffer based on the text at point. The URLs are stored in an external file defined by the variable `quickurl-url-file` as a list of either cons cells of the form `(`key `.` URL`)` or lists of the form `(`key URL comment`)`. These specify that `M-x quickurl` should insert URL if the word key is at point, for example:

         (("FSF"      "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
          ("emacs"  . "http://www.emacs.org/")
          ("hagbard"  "http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk" "Hagbard's World"))

`M-x quickurl-add-url` can be used to add a new key/URL pair. `M-x quickurl-list` provides interactive editing of the URL list.
