Nice! I like Ctrl+Enter to send message. I think it used to be Tab+Enter which I never liked.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Ctrl+Shift+2 and then using the arrow keys will select the emoticon (I'm on my Nexus 10 so I can't try it out at the moment).
Tab+Enter was the shortcut because Tab would move the focus from the text field to the Send button. Personally I would prefer Shift+Enter as I am more used to it, but oh well.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why these things didn't happen when I tried them.
ReplyDeletePhew.. Thanks, was searching for these shortcuts :)
ReplyDeletestill no strikethrough :(
ReplyDeleteI enable my shortcuts in gmail and tried the center, left and right align shortcut and they don't work? Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteNoticed a small error: it's CTRL+Shift+8 for a bulleted list, CTRL+Shift+7 for a numbered one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this article!!! I can finally access some of the most common text editing features again.
