\"Post<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me, once you get used to a keyboard shortcut, you never go back.<\/p>\n

WordPress has a number of keyboard shortcuts that you can use when writing your posts. The majority of them are conveniently placed in the help section on the editor itself.<\/p>\n

Just click the Help icon, and then go to the Hotkeys tab.<\/p>\n
