What are WordPress Keyboard Commans?
-
Hello
I’m having problems finding a list ofkeyboard commands for wordpress and how to use them. I read the support article for the visual editor and followed their instructions, but there is no hotkey list…Please help me!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Not exactly, though that was quite helpful too and I ended up bookmarking that page for future usage. No, instead what I’m refering to are hot keys or keyboard short cuts. For example in other systems control and the letter b causes the highlighted text to become bold….That sort of thing.

Keyboard shortcuts are on the same page as the other Visual editor support docs at the very bottom http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#keyboard-shortcuts

If Alt + Shift + letter does not work for you then I believe you could have browser related issue.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

Um my browser is not the issue here as I’m running the current version of firefox. All I want is the list of keyboard commands for this website…Why is it so hard to find or obtain them? At this rate I might as well just move my stuff over to blogspot….At least I can find the keyboard commands there easily enough.

I see a list here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#keyboard-shortcuts which I previously linked to above.

When I go to that page it only tells me about the buttons but not the keyboard commands for them.

Hi there,
I’m sorry for the difficulty finding the keyboard shortcuts in the editor. I’m including a list here of all the current keyboard shortcuts mentioned there. (Please note that these could change in the future.)

b Bold
i Italic
u Underline
1 Heading 1
2 Heading 2
3 Heading 3
4 Heading 4
5 Heading 5
6 Heading 6
9 Address
k Insert/edit linkThe following shortcuts use different access keys: Alt + Shift + letter.
n Check Spelling
j Justify Text
d Strikethrough
u Bulleted List
o Numbered List
q Quote
w Distraction Free Writing mode
p Insert Page Break tag
x Add/remove code tag
l Align Left

r Align Right
a Insert link
