I've recently acquired a MacBook Air and I'm getting used to Mac OS X shortcuts. One that I can't find, though, is the change to bold a piece of text previously selected in the WordPress editor.

I do this with a simple Ctrl+b after selecting the text in Windows, but the expected Command+b in Mac OS X does not work (in WordPress at least. It seems it works in other editors online and offline). Is there a shortcut for it... and for italics?

Did you try Ctrl+B on the Mac? – digitxp Jan 2 '11 at 20:21

If you mean the web interface (couldn't find "WordPress editor" software), it's Ctrl-B or Alt-Shift-B, as written in the tooltip. Similar with I for italic

Alt+Shit+b did the trick for bold, same with i for italics. Didn't pay attention to tooltips, good point ;) Thanks! – javipas Jan 2 '11 at 23:12
