 * It would be awesome to see an easier way to edit permalinks. After I’ve finished
   typing a long title, or when I do an auto-post with a plugin, I end up with a
   permalink that is fifteen hyphenated words long. I know there are plugins out
   there that will automatically shorten my permalinks for me, but I prefer to choose
   the keywords myself. WordPress offers only a tiny box to edit your permalink.
 * It would be awesome simply to extend that box right across the page so you can
   see the whole thing making it much easier to edit.
 * Thanks!

 * You can do that already 🙂
 * Go to edit the post, and just below the title, is your permalink with ‘Edit’ 
   at the end. Click on edit and you can change the permalink.

 * [@ipstenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) – killthejoe already
   knows he can edit the permalink. He simply wants the text field to display more
   characters.

 * Heh, my bad. Mis-read it.
 * Since it defaults to all text selected, you could just press delete and type 
   it in but … There’s no real easy way to make that longer without screwing up 
   layouts.
 * I suppose you could sort out something from how this guy does it for a shortener,
   and convert it to a pop-up URL editor: [http://ychittaranjan.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/wordpress-inbuilt-url-shortener-wp-me/](http://ychittaranjan.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/wordpress-inbuilt-url-shortener-wp-me/)
