Steps


Section
titleThe Idea

We want to remove the create button that creates a new blank page.

Section


Column


Panel
titleCurrent Situation

The split button in the Confluence menu:

  • Click left on 'Create' to create an empty page (based on no template)
  • Click right on "..." to open the page wizard selection dialog

The shortcut 'c' clicks the left button, creating a new blank document.



Column


Panel
titleDesired Situation

We would like to make it easier for users to create a new page based on a template.

Therefore we remove the left button and replace the label of the right.

When the user hits the shortcut 'c'. the page wizard selection dialog opens.

The script implements the your solution:.

Code Block

AJS.toInit(function () {
  const $quickCreateButton = AJS.$('#quick-create-page-button');
  if ($quickCreateButton.length) {
    $quickCreateButton.hide();
    const $createButton = AJS.$('#create-page-button');
    if ($createButton.length) {
      $createButton.text("Create ...");
 
      $(document).on('keydown', null, 'c', function () {
        $createButton.click();
      });
    }
  }
});
