I recently upgraded to WordPress 2.1<\/a> and noticed a nice new feature which lets me use Visual and Code editing on a single screen<\/strong> (which has been a powerful Blogger feature for long). But there was not much change in the Post editor buttons from the previous WordPress version. Till I found these hidden wordpress buttons…<\/p>\n

Activate Hidden WordPress Options<\/h3>\n

When on the Write Post screen of your WordPress Admin – Press Alt-Shift-V<\/strong> (Firefox) or Alt-V<\/strong> (IE) and behold…<\/p>\n

An entire new row of buttons appears…\"Hidden<\/p>\n

It adds much needed formatting options<\/strong> like Underline, align, special characters and font colors (I always wondered why it was missing). In addition are the must have redo and undo buttons (Now I can rest my keyboard shorcuts). Then there is the Paste as plain text and Paste from Word if you do a lot of cut and pasting of text. If you need to clean the code – clean up formatting, clean up messy code will fix it all up for you. Once you start using it, you cannot go back.<\/p>\n

This extra toolbar row is gone when you switch back<\/strong> to code view. The WordPress forum has some ideas about how to turn this on by default<\/a>. But modifying your WordPress core files is a risk you might not want to take. I guess this feature will become “always on” by demand in the next version. Very useful. Must try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
