Can I reclaim control of the URL hash-fragment from AngularJS?

Question

I\'m using AngularJS, and would like to process a given #hash-fragment in the address-bar. However, —and this is key— I\'ll not be using the hash-fragm

Answer 1

# seems to work well enough on the angular api docs page. So with a little snooping and testing I found that

app.config(function($locationProvider) {
    $locationProvider.html5Mode(true).hashPrefix('!');
});

makes the difference.
