Frustrated with having to interrupt your typing flow to pick up your mouse to click the button to add a link in WordPress? You can do it from your keyboard, no mouse needed.
Use the shift + arrow keys to highlight the string of text you want to link, then click alt + shift + a. The Insert/Edit Link dialog box will appear and you’ll be able to add your link! Press “enter” on your keyboard once you’ve insert the URL and you’ve just added a link without lifting a finger off your keyboard.
You can use a similar shortcut to de-link an existing link: just put your cursor anywhere on the link and hit alt + shift + s.
