Windows Live Writer Keyboard Shortcuts

I recently started using Windows Live Writer for blogging and since I avoid the mouse at all costs I wanted shortcuts. Microsoft has them documented however I like quick reference cards to print and tape up.

I have a quick reference here. Let me know if I made any mistakes or missed any. The “general” Windowsy shortcuts listed on the Microsoft site are not in here.

Blog and post shortcuts

Create a new post Ctrl+N
Crete a new page Ctrl+G
Open a post Ctrl+O
Save a post Ctrl+S
Publish a post Ctrl+Shift+P
Post draft to blog Ctrl+Shift+D
Insert hyperlink Ctrl+K
Add picture from computer Ctrl+J
Add picture from the web Ctrl+Shift+J
See post properties F2
Set categories Ctrl+Shift+C
Update blog theme Ctrl+F11
Change to edit view F11
Change to preview view F12
Change to source view Shift+F11

Text formatting shortcuts

Bold Ctrl+B
Italicize Ctrl+I
Strikethrough Ctrl+H
Underline Ctrl+U
Subscript Ctrl+=
Superscript Ctrl+Shift+=
Bullets Ctrl+Shift+L
Clear formatting Ctrl+Space
Center text Ctrl+E
Align text left Ctrl+L
Align text right Ctrl+R
New paragraph Ctrl+Shift+N
Heading 1 Ctrl+Left Alt+1
Heading 2 Ctrl+Left Alt+2
Heading 3 Ctrl+Left Alt+3
Heading 4 Ctrl+Left Alt+4
Heading 5 Ctrl+Left Alt+5
Heading 6 Ctrl+Left Alt+6

Set text left to right Ctrl+Left Shift
Set text right to left Ctrl+Right Shift

After wondering what “RTL mode” was I looked around. It means “Right To Left” text mode. If you use a language that is in right to left, check this out.
