This trick doesn't work in quick reply mode, but if you hit "reply", it works with both the normal editor and the WYSIWYG editor.
Okay, guys, check this.
If you hit CTRL + I you get italics!
And CTRL + B gets you bold
And CTRL + U gets you underline!
And in the WYSIWYG text editor, to turn it off once you've activated it, you just hit CTRL + B/I/U again and it turns it off! *___*
It's such a simple little discovery but I feel a changed person. |:
