I went about my way to try and find if there was an easy way to put the “Private Documents” and “Shared Documents” document library view web part on My Site. I mean, sheesh, I want My Site to be my official home page, and it'd be nice if I could put a view web part there so I could see, say, the last 5 documents added.
Anyway, I searched google and I ended up actually seeing a page for keyboard shortcuts. I love keyboard shortcuts! In general, I don't like using the mouse for things that I want to *do* vs draw. ie, I use vi a gazillion times more than notepad. In fact, I wish there was a ViM plug-in for IE so I could use it for entering in info in web parts. It has a steep learning curve for anyone who hasn't used UNIX systems, but it pays off big time with editing code, searching log files, and all sorts of things. gvim is the GUI-based form for Windows and is quite useful and is a default install on all my windows workstations and servers, as is Cygwin.
The link I found was at Greatwesthealthcare.com, but then I realized the url was very sps-like. So I just replaced that part with my own sps server and voila, it's a microsoft help file.
So just go to your own server, with this url:
