Ctrl+I, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+U

Post by Confused » Fri Apr 12, 2013 4:42 pm

Hi all,

When making posts I typically use keyboard shortcuts for Italic, Bold, Underline.

Doing so here does whatever the default shortcuts do in Firefox (Ctrl+I for "Italic" opens the "Bookmarks" sidebar)

Any chance of adding these to the full & quick reply editor?


Thankfully Alt+S works for "Submit" :)

Alt i and Aly U work for me.

Looks like Alt B is connected to a main menu option, I'll remove this in a sec.

:lol: Doesn't work on the iChodebook.

Alt+B = ∫
Alt+I = ^
Alt+U = ¨

Not bothered tbh! I like clicking the buttons.

Right alt or left alt @Donald? They do different things, can't quite remember if a mcspazbook has 2 alt keys or not :?

Yeah it has two alt keys, both do the same thing :lol: it may just be the way I've set my keyboard up though, or maybe some Chrome setting. Although I have had a look and I can't see anywhere to change this, Chrome settings or my system preferences.

For that matter I have two command keys, two alt/option keys, one ctrl and one fn. I've tried all sorts of combinations but nothing works. I did just discover that ctrl+b and ctrl+f actually moves you blinky line thing through your text by one position per press :lol: Don't know why you would use that over the arrow keys though :?

Usually in Pages if I use cmd+b/i/u it does the bold etc. stuff. Is it a simple addition to add this to the script? Not sure if you have cmd on other keyboards? I think you do but it's one of those keys that doesn't get used by normal people. Just like my fn key :lol:

Anyway as said before I am not bothered by it and I'm not sure how many other people use iOverpriced, so if it's a pain then don't bother... although I imagine you may be a tad finicky like myself and would want it just for the sake of completion :geek: :mrgreen:

The cmd key is a mac only invention sadly. Had a quick google, apparently Webkit (the rendering engine in Safari and Chrome) doesn't pass any of these shortcuts through in its current incarnation on OSX.

However, all is not lost - Google have forked the project, are ditching all the stuff they don't need (around 4500 lines of code) and improving things: http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/03/goog ... -chromium/

Until that makes it into Chrome proper though, I think you're stuck unless you use Firefox.

Rep for knowing stuff 8-)

As said I'm not overly bothered, I'm not going to switch to Firefox though :lol: It's horrible on OSX, slow, dated when compared to Chrome and even when I'm typing text to search from the home page of Firefox the text appearance is delayed. I can finish typing and count almost 2 seconds before it catches up, and that's with ONLY Firefox running :lol:

So I assume this thing will sort itself out when Chrome is updated?

Likely yeah, because Google are taking ownership of the code they can fix these 'bugs' without worrying about other Webkit users getting upset :)

I'm gonna forget about using Alt rather than the usual Ctrl (as used in every Windows application!) ;)

Thanks for adding at least one keyboard shortcut ;)
