Windows Live Writer Tips #10 ā€“ Keyboard Shortcuts

Sometimes, you can be just in the groove when typing your blog entry, and the last thing you want to do is disrupt your flow by having to use your mouse to do something. Fortunately, Writer has a lot of keyboard shortcuts that make this really easy to avoid. Below is a list of some of the main keyboard shortcuts (Iā€™m omitting formatting shortcuts like CTRL+B for turning on bold text, etc).
