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 | Global 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 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.
