WordPress Posts - Quick Tip

Posted by Hyder on May 18th, 2007

I found out something cool that is available in WordPress 2.1.x and up for their WYSIWYG editor, you need to have Visual Rich Editor enabled in your User Options tab.

Pressing Alt+Shift+V brings up a tab on your “Write” page in WordPress with some special formatting options for

  • adding heading tags,
  • underlining,
  • justifying content,
  • changing color of type,
  • pasting from text and word format,
  • cleaning up messy code,
  • a special characters pop up box and
  • redo and undo options.

Have more fun writing your posts now. I haven’t upgraded yet to the latest version, but will do as soon as I know that WP 2.2 is all fine and dandy. Thanks to AdesBlog for the tip.

    Why do they hide such great tools like this?!? Thanks for bringing this to our attention - shame WordPress couldn’t do it instead!
