The Hubpages text editor has a few basic shortcuts just like a word processor: Control-I (Cmd-I on Mac) for italics, and Cntrl/Cmd-B for bold.
There's one common keyboard shortcut that's missing: Cntrl/Cmd-K to pull up the "add/edit a link" window. Most text editors use it, and the Wordpress interface has it. On Hubpages, I keep using it, staring at the screen waiting for something to happen, then remembering I need to scroll up to the formatting bar to click an icon for it.
Obviously low priority, but it would be handy, especially when editing broken links.
I'd very much support this - I use this shortcut (command K for me) on my blogs and websites all the time
It works in Blogger so it would be very helpful if it could work in HubPages too.
We use TinyMCE so any existing keyboard shortcut for TinyMCE should work in the HubTool.
I checked and could not find an existing one for inserting a link, but did find this (partial?) list.
ctrl+z Undo
ctrl+y Redo
ctrl+b Bold
ctrl+i Italic
ctrl+u Underline
ctrl+1-6 h1-h6
ctrl+7 p
ctrl+8 div
ctrl+9 address

It does look like a custom shortcut could be setup and I have forwarded this information to our engineering team to consider when we consider new feature for the HubTool.
Here is the info I found and shared with them

So GG, I'll ask one of my well known to you simpleton ?'s here. What do you use to embed a link, straight HTML or is there a capsule? I seem to recall that being mentioned.
And as before, thanks in advance!
Well I found it in the cool Related Discussions below feature!
Excellent!
Two ways, just in case anyone stumbles across your question later: (a) When you're editing a hub, there's a little chain button at the top of the text editor that lets you make in-text links, or (b) you can use a link capsule.
I usually recommend in-text links for things you particularly want visitors to check out, because I think the reader's eyes may tend to skip over link capsules the way they do ads. Oddly enough, in-text links often convert better (or at least affiliate sales links do, so I'm guessing non-sales links do, too.)
I use in-text links on my blog all the time - and tend to highlight two or three of the really crucial ones in bold.
And how about Ctrl + Shift + L for bulleted lists while we're asking for more shortcuts.
Didn't even know Wordpress had this feature, just saved me a few minutes! Knowing this I would love to see it on HubPages as well.

Hello Hubbers!I’m reaching out to inform you of an update to our product guidelines. Previously, we had indicated a preference for in-text product links over Amazon Capsules, but we are updating our preferences to Amazon Capsules over in-text product links. Here is the new language we will be...

My most recently snipped hub is about a specific product that is not readily available in stores. It used to have an amazon capsule, but that was deleted courtesy of HubPro a while back. Made no sense to me at the time because I've had multiple sales through amazon for that product, but I didn't...

I like to add in-text links when I'm talking about certain products as I not only think they are some of the most effective, but also some of the most helpful. What I don't understand is why there is a limit of 2 in-text amazon links whereas we can make a slew of Amazon links using the Amazon...

If this is not the correct place to ask my questions, please let me know where to go on HubPages, or if I should send an email to the people running HubPages.A few months ago an expert hubber with lots of experience and success for a time offered free critiques of hubs in one of the forums. I asked...

I just discovered a new problem that may have started with the new text capsule. When I copy and paste a perfectly good link into a new location it adds a second http after the one I already have there. This makes the link fail if someone clicks on it. Example: "http://hubpages.com"...

Is there any way to add a link to an Amazon product within the text rather than having to always use the Amazon capsule? I used to do that when I had my own Amazon Associates account, but I'm not sure if it's possible using the HP Amazon Program. Personally, I click on links within text more often...
