Bold font shortcut in WordPress editor in Mac OS X? (The equivalent to Ctrl+b in Windows)

0

I've recently acquired a MacBook Air and I'm getting used to Mac OS X shortcuts. One that I can't find, though, is the change to bold a piece of text previously selected in the WordPress editor.

I do this with a simple Ctrl+b after selecting the text in Windows, but the expected Command+b in Mac OS X does not work (in WordPress at least. It seems it works in other editors online and offline). Is there a shortcut for it... and for italics?

Did you try Ctrl+B on the Mac? – digitxp – 2011-01-02T20:21:00.550

If you mean the web interface (couldn't find "WordPress editor" software), it's Ctrl-B or Alt-Shift-B, as written in the tooltip. Similar with I for italic

Alt+Shit+b did the trick for bold, same with i for italics. Didn't pay attention to tooltips, good point ;)
