Tab, Italic... Surley this cant really be a bug... by bigbob85 on 08-24-2007 at 01:12 PM

Hey,
I was just wondering, why is ctrl+t italic shortcut, and ctrl+i is tab shortcut. Wouldn't it make more sense the other way?

I doubt this would be a bug, as it wouldn't have sliped through this far... or is it... ^o)

ctrl+i is Indent and you will find that this is set by WLM, however ctrl+t is set by MP!L as a shortcut for italic.  You have to remember that their are a lot of shortcut in WLM and Plus! and hence Patchou had to choose something that wasn't already taken, I'm sure there were other options but he chose that one as ctrl+i was already taken.

ctrl + i is actually not unique to WLM.  You'll find that it's the same in Windows Notepad ;)

Ah yeh, that makes sence. I never knew about indent until after I had plus. Guess its not possible to dereference the indent shortcut and swap it is it..?

Thanks for the fast reply :).
