Short Cuts When Typing in Source Mode

[Dawn Rhymer]

I made a terrific little discovery for those who like to type in source mode. However, it turns out to not be that amazing...you know the feeling of learning something new only to find out everyone else already knows...

"ctrl + b" automatically inserts the syntax for bold.

"ctrl + i" automatically inserts the syntax for italics.

"ctrl + u" automatically inserts the syntax for underline.

I was on the verge of assuming I was an absolute genius when I realized that information is right there for all to see by simply hovering over the B, I, or U in the toolbar.

Oh well...not only am I not a genius but I have now also put on display my total lack of attention and observation.

Despite all this, I made the decision to continue on with this thread for the few out there who may also be unaware of these nifty shortcuts.

You're right!! That does work!

I wondered what would happen if I hovered over the little picture of the Lego, and it said, "brick."

Well, I didn't know that trick. And what is the Lego brick for? Lol
