More than 40 Keyboard Shortcuts to Use in the WordPress Editor

If you’re like me, once you get used to a keyboard shortcut, you never go back.

WordPress has a number of keyboard shortcuts that you can use when writing your posts. The majority of them are conveniently placed in the help section on the editor itself.

Just click the Help icon, and then go to the Hotkeys tab.
