Hi,

I do not believe custom shortcut keys in the editor is possible. It only supports pre-defined short keys such as Ctrl+C for copy, Ctrl+V for paste, etc. Sorry about that!

Thanks!

Thank you for your response.

I need to know whether the following keys are possible or not.
Ctrl+B for bold , Ctrl+I for Italic and Ctrl+U for underline

Thanks and Regards.

Yes. All these three shortcuts are supported.

Thanks!

But, When I press Ctrl+B, it's opening the Bookmarks.

Hi,

I verified that you will see that on certain browsers (for example, FireFox). It appears that FireFox does not allow you to change any of its built-in shortcuts, regardless whether you are inside an editor or not. IE is able to distinguish the circumstance, if you are in an Editor, then it would not invoke those default shortcuts, so it can handle all three shortcuts correctly.

Unfortunately we are not aware of any ways around this once the browser decides to keep the shortcuts to itself. Since each browser defines their own set of shortcuts, it is usually not the browser's intention for you to change the behavior of these pre-defined shortcuts because the browser wants to enforce a unified user experience.

Thanks!
Priya
