\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t \t\t\t\t

\r\n \t\t\t\t\tThis is not a comprehensive list of WordPress keyboard shortcuts. This guide is dedicated to\u00a0Gutenberg Block Editor <\/span><\/a>shortcuts only. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

Many of the legacy editor\u2019s formatting shortcuts still work in the Gutenberg editor. To see a complete list of the editor shortcuts, see the<\/span> Keyboard Shortcuts page in the WordPress Codex<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
