Comment (by negusnyul):
I attached a patch that adds 4 new shortcuts:
1. B_COMMAND_KEY + B_OPTION_KEY + R -> Align right
2. B_COMMAND_KEY + B_OPTION_KEY + L -> Align left
3. B_COMMAND_KEY + B_OPTION_KEY + C -> Align center
4. B_COMMAND_KEY + B_OPTION_KEY + W -> Word wrap on/off
With this patch, every significant feature in StyledEdit will have a
shortcut except font styles.
About the font styles:
It's doable to add font style shortcuts, but I'm strongly against it,
because of these issues:
1. Inconsistent. Some fonts support bold/italic/underlined/etc. style,
some fonts not. It can be annoying for the users that after changing font,
some shortcuts aren't working anymore. (And after another change, they're
working again - or not: it depends on the font.)
2. It's a not-so-nice 'hack': We probably need to change some menuitem's
shortcut when the user changes the current font (and also take care of
cases when there is no bold/italic/underlined styles).
If we want shortcuts for these features anyway, I think we should rewrite
the font handling part to a more commonly used style (like in OpenOffice,
etc.). However, I think the current solution is OK because StyleEdit is
not a full-featured word processor, and shortcuts for these font style
functions aren't so necessary at all.
