Just found a cool forum keyboard shortcut!

Desmo · 01-07-2009, 13:56

Was just typing a post elsewhere when I accidentally held down the CTRL button and hit B and it made the bold quotes when typing a post. It also works for italics. Not tired any others yet.

No idea if this is commonly known or not but thought I'd post it up anyway. Might just be a vB thing or may work on other forum software too. This is on a Mac although I'd assume it should be similar on a PC too.

Works with control u and control I. Yes you're behind the times.

It works with almost anything where you can type some prose..

I think there's even a shortcut to close all open text modifiers

Have you tried ctrl+w yet for wrapping code tags around the selected text?
