[wp-hackers] quicktags access via keyboard not working properly

[Stefan Hartweg]

I'm trying to use my keyboard to insert quicktags instead of having to click
on a quicktags button every time.

For example, pressing Alt+b inserts the 'bold' tag.

Unfortunately, selecting a piece of text and then pressing Alt+b doesn't
surround the text with the opening and closing tags like pressing on the
quicktag button would do, but rather only inserts the opening tag.

 

Is there a quick way to fix this?

 

Thanks.
