I'm running thunderbird 128.3.0 ESR.

Are there keyboard shortcuts for creating headings and lists in HTML messages? You can walk through the menus

i.e. to create an h1 you can do:

1. select text with the keyboard; 2. press "alt+o, p, 1");

Would be nice to be able to:

1. select text with keyboard; 2. press control+alt+1 for h1, control+alt+2 for h2, etc.

Similarly for lists:

1. select text with the keyboard; 2. press "alt+control+l"; 3. press enter to get next item; 4. end with two presses of enter


Perhaps I missed this in the shortcuts help article?

Thanx for any info.

I wasn't able to do this with the tbkeys-lite add-on, but it seems to be easy to select from the Formatting Bar (see picture), which also has icons for bulleted and numbered lists.

Thanx for your reply.

I use a screen reader and thus cannot use a mouse. Was hoping someone knew of a keyboard-only way of doing this!

You can post in the Issues section in case someone knows how:
