  Yes. would be good, if
  Match: fb (+space)
  Redirect: https://www.facebook.com

  In Firefox there is addon URL Alias, which works like this > https://addons.mozilla.org/fi/firefox/addon/url-alias-8703/

  Does exactly what I wanted by giving me back the "nickname" feature that is missing in Opera bookmarks (same feature as Firefox bookmark keyword). I was able to successfully create over 50 common shortcuts I use, including multiple shortcuts to point to the same redirect (e.g. bank, checking, and savings all go to the same online banking website).

  I only leave off 1 star because of two minor annoyances:

  1. You *must* put the trailing / in the URL bar for the shortcut to work.

  For example, consider the shortcut match "http://facebook/" which redirects to "https://facebook.com/". If you put "facebook/" into the Opera omnibox/address bar it works and redirects you to the Facebook website. If you forget to include the trailing / and instead put "facebook" into the address bar, it does not redirect you and instead does a Google search for facebook.

  2. No intuitive way to delete entries.

  There is a + button to add new entries. However there is no - button next to each line or any other obvious means of deleting an entry. This is no big deal because if you delete the values from both the "Match" and "Redirect" fields and then save, it removes the entry. Just mentioned it because it is not very obvious / user friendly.
