Getting started
Use keyboard shortcuts in the editor
Key combinations that copy, undo, preview, publish and format text without reaching for the mouse.
Shortcuts do the same jobs as the buttons, only faster. You don't need any of them, but a few save real time once you're editing every week.
On a Windows computer, use the keys as written. On a Mac, press Command where it says Ctrl, and Option where it says Alt. So Ctrl+P on Windows is Command+P on a Mac.
