Hi there,
Are there any keyboard shortcuts when composing a post?
It would be really helpful if it was possible to press a could of keys to do these actions
- preview
- submit
eg, [alt]+
So far I haven't found a help page here listing any keyboard shortcuts.
/many thanks for listening

Hmm. have managed to discover a 'work around' of sorts...
Preview
- having typed text into a post, my cursor is in the body text area
- if i hit [tab] once, the cursor focus moves to the [preview] button
- and simply hitting either [enter] or [space bar] then gives me a preview of my post.
Submit
- having typed text into a post, my cursor is in the body text area
- if i hit [tab] twice, the cursor focus moves to the [submit] button
- and simply hitting either [enter] or [space bar] then submits my post.
This has made me a happy bunny (not in the Blue Peter sense of the word).

Hmmmm - interesting question... In theory the page (Posting page) is already configured with some of these...
For instance, Alt+B does bold. This works in IE6, but in FF3 (by default) that does not work...
I will investigate, and post some more info up... Although Kid's bathtime now...
aha, I'm using FF3 (IE is a swear-word in our house)
🙂 )

How does a bluetooth laser virtual keyboard work? It's a little device that displays an image of a keyboard on a flat surface, type away on the image and see the keystrokes appear on the screen of your pda, blackberry, or home computer.
