Thread Name: Basic HTML commands for dummies
Subject: RE: Basic HTML commands for dummies
Is there any provision in HTML for setting up hotkey macros? I like to use the "line break" command frequently, and sometimes the "bold," and will probably use others as I learn more about this.

Right now, the only way I can avoid typing out the special characters every time is to use Edit-Copy, and then paste them in. This only works on one character at a time, and I have to get off the keyboard, grab the mouse, point and shoot, drop the mouse, get back on the keyboard....

Granted, this is a minor annoyance, but after 10 years of typing news copy with Wordperfect, I like the little short cuts, like inserting your name with two keystrokes, or adding a link without having to look up all the coding every time.
