WordPress 2.1 – Hidden Editor Buttons!

Well, the upgrade to WordPress 2.1 was not as sweet for me as for others. Due to the upgrade, my old theme stopped working, as it was not compatible with this new version. This has taught me a lesson and I would share a tutorial with you in future, on how you can avoid these kinds of situations.

Apart from that Automatic (the company behind wordpress) has done a great job with wordpress 2.1 and the new features which wordpress has provided are really good.

There is a hidden feature in WordPress 2.1 and that is that it has got some extra buttons in the visual editor and they can be activated with the help of some shortcuts.

Here are the shortcuts :

Internet Explorer : ALT+V
Mozilla FireFox : ALT+SHIFT+V

Not sure if this trick works on any other browser or not. If at all you want to use wordpress on Opera, Don’t even think of doing that! (If you want to know the reason, then try it once :p)
