The plugin take all of the data registered and created a multi-dimensional 
array in an option called ‘_shortcodes’. Existing shortcodes that WP is away of 
are also stored here with just their name and callback.
A few static methods for checking on shortcode info are provided. 
 GetShortcodeAtts($shortcode_name) 
 ShortcodeInPost($shortcode_name, $post_id)
Creating a new media button in the editor is easy with the <code>add_media_button()</code> 
method. Just pass your shortcode name, attributes, a page title, introductory 
text, and an icon image url.

WP Shortcodes API

Stores information about available shortcodes as an option and provides a method to easily add a media button with configurable options.

Forget About Shortcode (FASC) Buttons are a visual way to add CSS buttons in the rich text editor and to your themes. Instead of adding shortcodes in the post editor, you insert real, styled buttons – making the process of adding buttons to your posts and pages much more natural whilst improving the appearance and usability of the post editor.

FASC Buttons tries to be as clean as possible with the html, only using data attributes for necessary features – the buttons you use in the post editor use the exact same classes as on the front end of your site with no extra or hidden markup to make them behave this way.

Forget About Shortcode Buttons

... and this has it. Works exactly as advertised and is WYSIWYG. In edit mode, the buttons don't shrink when they receive focus, which I've seen on other plugins. There are a wide variety of choices for appearance, and the icons feature is an excellent addition. It just works.

I look for ease of use...
