| Dec 6, 2020 at 23:25 | comment | added | V2Blast StaffMod | @Ollie: I'm pretty sure the SE post editor's shortcuts "override" any that are already used by the browser for something else. For instance, Ctrl+B brings up the Bookmarks sidebar in Firefox, but when used in the post editor, it bolds the thing. Likewise, Ctrl+L jumps to the address bar in Firefox, but in SE's post editor, it inserts a link. As for your other point, Yaakov says in another MSE answer that they won't be making any more changes to the current editor (and that the new Stacks Editor will eventually be rolled out network-wide). | |
| Dec 6, 2020 at 23:00 | comment | added | Ollie | @V2Blast That's a very good point. Thing is, we don't know when the new editor will be made public, and until then I'd still appreciate a keyboard shortcut. Also, the Ctrl+E is a shortcut for searching Google, so that may need to be jiggered. | |
| Dec 6, 2020 at 22:55 | comment | added | V2Blast StaffMod | Judging from Arulkumar's answer, the new post editor seemingly includes (or will include) a "Ctrl+E" shortcut for tables. Though judging from the Stack Moderators team, there's currently no shortcut for it - Ctrl+E doesn't seem to work... The "table" button in the current editing interface there just seems to insert a table "template" with 2-3 rows and 2-3 columns (it doesn't prompt the user to choose a number of rows and columns or anything). | |

| Dec 6, 2020 at 22:33 | comment | added | V2Blast StaffMod | Also, Ham replied to Nick's comment on the question confirming that there would be a button in the editing interface to make inserting/editing tables easy, but I'm curious what that'll look like - presumably, the keyboard shortcut for this will do the same thing as clicking that button. | |
| Dec 6, 2020 at 22:33 | comment | added | V2Blast StaffMod | @user1271772: Ctrl+L to add links, Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I to add bold/italic formatting, Ctrl+U for bulleted (unordered) lists and Ctrl+O for numbered (ordered) lists, Ctrl+Q for blockquote formatting. | |
