I’ve always been a console using Linux guy. To work efficiently I believe that you need to learn a few shortcuts. Whenever I start to use a new program I always check what kinds of shortcuts it provides. Those mentioned seem sensible to me, I still think emacs or vim style stuff would be beneficial, mostly because many folks are used to them. Of course I understand that it is not as easy, and to implement it the editor component should be hacked. It would be still a nice touch.
How do I make a list without bullets or numbers? I’ve done it in the past but can no longer remember the shortcut!!
I tried the Cntl + number on highlighted text but it just jumped to a different tab in Chrome.
Thanks a lot, I was searching for them for quite long time finally got it
Great list. Do you have more shortcuts to share? Perhaps a list of 100?
