While dann's offline scratchpad is a very useful tool, there seems to be something missing....Ah yes, there are no shortcut keys listed in any of dann's documentation, and only a handful are visible to the user. However, with the work dann has done, he can be forgiven for not listing them down. So I've taken it upon myself (in response to someone else) to compile a list of them here. These are sure to come in handy for anyone who uses this program, especially since many hate to move a hand to their mouse while typing. So, without further ado, here is a fairly comprehensive list:
Formatting Tags
- Ctrl + U: Inserts <u></u> tags
- Ctrl + I: Inserts <i> </i> tags
- Ctrl + B: Inserts <b></b> tags
- Ctrl + [: Inserts <small></small> tags
- Ctrl + ]: Inserts <big></big> tags
- Ctrl + | (line): Inserts [], if a word is highlighted, it will make the word into a hardlink
- Ctrl + Enter: Inserts a <br> tag plus moves the cursor to a new line.
- Alt + R: Insert a <hr> tag
- Alt + P: Inserts <p></p> tags
- Alt + A: Inserts <ul></ul> tags
- Alt + J: Inserts <pre></pre> tags
- Alt + K: Inserts <tt></tt> tags
- Alt + L: Inserts <li></li> tags
- Alt + X: Inserts <strike></strike> tags
- Alt + C: Inserts <ol></ol> tags
- Alt + M: Inserts <dd> tag

- Ctrl + J or Ctrl + M: Inserts a new line (same as Enter)
