If you use the WordPress rich text editor to write your posts, there are a few shortcuts that you may not be familiar with. Here is a useful list of shortcuts that you can use to make writing and formating posts a little easier:
Bold: Alt+SHIFT+B
Italics: Alt+SHIFT+I
Link: Alt+SHIFT+A
Blockquote: Alt+SHIFT+Q
Code: Alt+SHIFT+C
Read More: Alt+SHIFT+T
Unordered List (ul): Alt+SHIFT+U
Ordered List (ol): Alt+SHIFT+O
List Item (li): Alt+SHIFT+L
This can often save you the time it takes to switch back and forth between the visual tab and the code tabs. Enjoy!

Isn’t Alt + Shift + C align center? I just tried it out, and all it did was switch me to align center. Then when I put my mouse over the button to turn it off, a “Alt + Shift + C” tool tip came up.

Very interesting, I never was used to the interface without the enchanced editor, these shortcuts will definitely help me to enhance my skills on it now.

Neil - I’ve used ScribeFire before (formerly Performancing for Firefox I believe) and it was very useful. Is it still supported?
Stephen - I’ll check into that. I had C written down, but I will update the post if I find the correct letter for Code.
Keith - Thanks for stopping by. I was the same way, but now I prefer the Rich Text Editor when I write my posts in the dashboard. Usually when I’m done writing my post, however, I will switch back to code to be sure the formatting is correct before publishing.
