# Quicktag Access Key Problem

 * I just upgraded to WP 3.3.1 and edited my quicktag.js file to add some customizations
   I like.
 * All my changes work when I click on the quicktag, however, the alt-shift access
   keys to execute a quicktag function don’t work. For instance, if I press alt-
   shift-b it does not bold the selected text – unless I press ‘enter’ afterwards.
   It used to bold the text without pressing ‘enter’.
 * This problem occurs when composing a new post. I **just tried** the alt-shift-
   b in this comment form and it works fine, but not in the new post editor. Weird.
   Can anyone help?
 * Thanks.

 * Did you check out the quicktags-dev.js file first? The quicktags js has been 
   completely rewritten. I’ve just written a small plugin for my own use that adds
   all of my customisations. Longer term, I’d like to extend it so that non-technical
   authors can add quicktags but, in the meantime, if you drop me a line via esmi[
   at]quirm.net, I’ll send you a copy.

 * Yeah, it was the quicktags-dev.js file that I edited and renamed it to quicktags.
   js. And the edits themselves work fine. It’s just the access keys that require
   me to press enter that’s weird.
