bin/view/~jsmith redirected to bin/view/JaneSmith

You can go to a user's topic by ~loginname instead of Main/FirstLast. More specifically, if you open http://twiki.example.com/cgi-bin/view/~loginname, you are redirected to http://twiki.example.com/cgi-bin/view/Main/FirstLast.

If you are logged in TWiki, you can go to your topic merely by ~.

This is especially handy if login names are different from wikinames and shorter.

UserSubwebs

If UserSubwebs is in effect

Combination with view URL shortening

If you are shortening view URLs (http://twiki.example.com/Web/Topic), you need to modify your URL rewriting rules so that ~ is recognized as a valid first character of a web name.

Then, you can go to your topic merely by http://twiki.example.com/~.
