Hot keys

Easy Email Pro provides keyboard shortcuts (hot keys) to improve editing efficiency. These shortcuts are designed to work across different operating systems, with some platform-specific variations.

Default Hotkeys

The following hotkeys are available across all platforms:

const HOTKEYS: Record<string, string> = {
  formatBold: "mod+b",
  formatItalic: "mod+i",
  formatUnderline: "mod+u",
  selectBlock: "mod+a",
  save: "mod+s",
  alignCenter: "mod+e",
  alignLeft: "mod+l",
  alignRight: "mod+r",
};

Where mod represents:

• Command (⌘) on macOS
• Control (Ctrl) on Windows/Linux

Platform-Specific Hotkeys

Some hotkeys differ between operating systems:

macOS

const APPLE_HOTKEYS: Record<string, string> = {
  redo: "mod+shift+z",
  undo: "mod+z",
};

Windows/Linux

const WINDOWS_HOTKEYS: Record<string, string> = {
  redo: "ctrl+y",
  undo: "ctrl+z",
};

Hotkey Functions

Hotkey	Function	Shortcut (Windows/Linux)	Shortcut (macOS)
formatBold	Make selected text bold	Ctrl+B	⌘+B
formatItalic	Make selected text italic	Ctrl+I	⌘+I
formatUnderline	Underline selected text	Ctrl+U	⌘+U
selectBlock	Select the current block	Ctrl+A	⌘+A
save	Save the current document	Ctrl+S	⌘+S

Using Hotkeys

Hotkeys work when the editor has focus. Simply press the key combination to trigger the associated action. For example, to make text bold, select the text and press Ctrl+B (Windows/Linux) or ⌘+B (macOS).

Notes

• The mod key in hotkey definitions automatically maps to the appropriate modifier key for the user's operating system
• Hotkeys follow standard conventions where possible to maintain familiarity for users
• Some hotkeys may be overridden by browser or system shortcuts
