Keyboard Shortcuts for Posting with Blogger

Tuesday, May 15, 2012

Keyboard shortcuts are a feature I find incredibly useful. Most of our favourite applications offers shortcuts to perform tasks, such as the generic CTRL+S to save or CTRL+B to generate bold text in word processing programs (the "Command"/CMD button for Mac users).

Blogger offers us a range of keyboard shortcuts we can use when creating and editing our blog posts to perform some most-used tasks without having to scroll around to find their appropriate buttons.

The following shortcuts have been tested to work in Internet Explorer 6+, although at present not all of these work in Firefox, Chrome and Opera*:

Shortcut	Function	browser compatibility
CTRL+B	Bold Text	Yes
CTRL+I	Italic text	Yes
CTRL+U	Underline text	Yes
CTRL+L	Blockquote (when in Edit HTML mode only)	No
CTRL+Z	Undo last operation	Yes
CTRL+Y	Redo last operation	Yes
CTRL+SHIFT+A	Insert Hyperlink	No
CTRL+SHIFT+P	Preview Post	No
CTRL+D	Save as Draft	No
CTRL+P	Publish Post	Yes
CTRL+S	Autosave	Yes
CTRL+G	Indic Transliteration	No

* Mac users substitute CTRL for CMD

I've tested the shortcuts above in Firefox 3.63, Internet Explorer 7/8,Flock and Chrome, though have yet been unable to test in Opera (so if anyone is able to do this, please let us know your findings in the comments!).

The Blogger Team are aware that some keyboard shortcuts do not work across all browsers and are working through the issues.
