Substack Keyboard Shortcuts

I mentioned in a note a handful of the keyboard shortcuts available in the Substack editor, and it seemed to be a hit.

So, to save you the trouble of searching and clicking around again, I’ve compiled a list of shortcuts straight from Substack’s page that goes even further.

Hope this helps!
