Keyboard shortcuts for frequently used editor options

+4
−0

It would be nice for the post editor should have keyboard shortcuts for most frequently used commands. My proposal is to use familiar shortcuts like the following:

  • **Bold **= Ctrl + B
  • Italic = Ctrl + I
  • Monospace font = Ctrl + K (I guess this is for code)
  • Link = Ctrl + L
  • Block quote = Ctrl + Q

Ctrl-I should be for image upload. Currently there is no substitute for physically clicking the button. Italics can be easily typed already using both HTML and Markup.

@Olin ctrl+I is italics on every text editor I've ever used, include site text editors like forums. I'm all for having a shortcut for image uploads, but it probably should be something else to avoid confusing people.
