Keyboard shortcuts
Every shortcut in the visual editor and the code editor, in one place.
HTMLOL is faster from the keyboard. Most shortcuts live in the visual editor (Preview) and the code editor; here's the full set. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl wherever you see ⌘.
Visual editor (Preview)
| Click | Select an element |
| ⌘+Click | Add/remove from a multi-selection |
| Double-click | Edit text in place |
| ↑ ↓ ← → | Nudge selected element 1px |
| Shift+arrow | Nudge 10px |
| ⌘+↑ / ⌘+↓ | Move element earlier / later in the document |
| Delete / Backspace | Delete selected element |
| Esc | Finish text editing / clear selection |
Text formatting (while editing)
| ⌘+B | Bold |
| ⌘+I | Italic |
| ⌘+U | Underline |
| ⌘+K | Add a link |
Code editor
The Code view uses standard editor shortcuts: ⌘+Z / ⌘+Shift+Z to undo and redo, ⌘+F to find, and Tab / Shift+Tab to indent. There are also toolbar buttons for Undo, Redo, Find & replace, and Reformat source.
Anywhere
Press Esc to close most dialogs and menus.
