  For all of us in wordpress.com, there is a shortcut that will ‘unleash’ the editor toolbar.

  Toggle simple/advanced toolbar:
  firefox 2 alt + shift + v
  firefox 1.5 alt + v
  IE alt + b

  you can change the font color and include special symbols.

  “More” function:
  Firefox 2 alt + shift + t
  firefox 1.5 alt + t

  “add page” function:
  firefox 2 alt + shift + g
  firefox 1.5 alt + g

  More shortcuts can be seen when you hover your mouse on the buttons.

  Why WordPress.com have not revealed this officially, that I don’t know. These functionalities are available with direct downloads of wordpress for independent users, and I found them in wordpress.com by accidental clicks. Then they took the advanced editor functionality off wordpress.com, and only put them up again only recently. Please tell me what I don’t know.

  Engtech blogged it a while ago.

  and it has been there for quite some time.

  “Then they took the advanced editor functionality off wordpress.com, and only put them up again only recently”

  I just realized that alt + b was changed to alt + v some time ago, and I took it wrong assuming that wordpress took it out.

  The post by engtech was inspired by a post I did in the forum (as mentioned by him in his post)

  link to original forum is here.

  I don’t believe wordpress.com has announced this officially yet. Why hide this feature?
