Well I never knew that!

Did you know that if your using the wordpress WYSIWYG editor you can enhance its functionality by hitting a few keys?

To enable additional formatting options in your WordPress editor simply hit alt-shift-v (Firefox) or alt-v (IE) to toggle extended editor.

You learn something new every day :) Thanks to Solo Technology!

    Thanks for the mention.

    And wait, it gets better! How about a simple little plugin to get to those extra buttons easier?

    I find that the WYSIWYG editor really messes with my code so I don’t use it. Is there a way to fix that? If ever I embed a youtube video it messes it up upon edit.

    I didn’t know that, but then again I pretty much despise the Visual Rich Editor in WP. First thing I do is turn it off then apply my own custom Quicktags.js with custom styles. For me that’s the ultimate solution.
