URL Redirection works perfect.
I am routing the /administrator/index.php?CodeKey using a more simplistic URL, like: /editor
And it works perfect, so I don't have to enter the whole URL every time, including the AdminTools security code.
But, I want to ask you if this is safe? Will this make it easier for hackers to find my URL security key?

Hello,

yes and no.
Adding a redirection to the secret URL defeats the main reason for the secret param, however I can see your point of view.
I think that if you create a more complex URL (like /maineditor or something like that) you should be reasonable safe.
