Meta-Improvement on Userland's Editting Improvement Administrative7/17/2000; 10:47:57 AM If you are using IE 4 or IE 5, and you edit a text message on a Manila site, you will see a bar over the top of the text edit area that contains shortcuts for Bold, Italic, Underline, Color, Font, Alignment, Format, and adding a link.I've added keyboard shortcuts to this site only for Bold, Italic, Underline, and Add Link. Unfortunately, for technical reasons you still must highlight something to apply the formatting to first, and I can't seem to drop-down the drop-down menus via scripting. (I can focus them, but not display the choices.) Anyhow, the following should now work:
- CTRL-ALT-B: Bold.
- CTRL-ALT-I: Italic.
- CTRL-ALT-U: Underline.
- CTRL-ALT-A or CTRL-ALT-L: Add Link. ('A' is for the tag name, 'L' is for Link.)
