   For all of us in wordpress.com, there is a shortcut that will ‘unleash’ the editor toolbar.

   Toggle simple/advanced toolbar:
   firefox 2 alt + shift + v
   firefox 1.5 alt + v
   IE alt + b

   you can change the font color and include special symbols.

   “More” function:
   Firefox 2 alt + shift + t
   firefox 1.5 alt + t

   “add page” function:
   firefox 2 alt + shift + g
   firefox 1.5 alt + g

   More shortcuts can be seen when you hover your mouse on the buttons.

   Why WordPress.com have not revealed this officially, that I don’t know. These functionalities are available with direct downloads of wordpress for independent users, and I found them in wordpress.com by accidental clicks. Then they took the advanced editor functionality off wordpress.com, and only put them up again only recently. Please tell me what I don’t know.

   I just realized that alt + b was changed to alt + v some time ago, and I took it wrong assuming that wordpress took it out.

   The post by engtech was inspired by a post I did in the forum (as mentioned by him in his post)

   link to original forum is here.

   I don't believe wordpress.com has announced this officially yet. Why hide this feature?
