Useful WordPress Keyboard shortcuts for Mac and Windows


 

WordPress keyboard shortcuts allow you to keep your hands on the keyboard rather than moving them away to mouse, click, drag & drop, and so on. Furthermore, keyboard shortcuts allow you to save time without sacrificing your ability to pick text, apply formatting, undo-redo, insert a block, or even rate your comment section.


 Above all, this will save a significant amount of time for blog authors and editors who spend a significant amount of time writing, maintaining, and editing blogs. After all, we're all busy people with a variety of tasks to complete each day.


Many WordPress newbies will utilize their mouse to reach the editor's formatting and style features. WordPress keyboard shortcuts, on the other hand, allow you to quickly get your hands on the keyboard and modify your posts. After that, you'll be able to text more quickly and save your work to WordPress. You can also keep your hands on the keyboard while selecting a format and measuring texts.


Furthermore, one of the best things about using WordPress shortcuts is that they work the same way in the WordPress content editor as they do in Microsoft Word.
