Description drzraf 2012-09-14 10:42:29 UTC 
Would be great to avoid mouse moves in order to style a text.
You often type a lot then style the some parts later.

Having key-bindings like Alt-Shift-B, Alt-Shift-I (or whatever) to style a word (or a mouse-selected region) as bold or italic is really convenient.

Prepare the patch.
Comment 3 Marius Hoch 2014-01-28 13:36:32 UTC 
Generally spoken, we shouldn't do that BECAUSE of accessibility: Keyboard shortcuts like these can have inconvenient side effects, for example on screen readers (which use a lot of keyboard shortcuts).

If one really wants such a feature, it can be implemented easily in a gadget which people can activate if they desire to.
