It was very handy and it used to work. It’s been several weeks (months even?) that it does not behave like this anymore. It happens both with the source mode editor and the live preview mode.

Wow thanks! I searched the forum + looked into the list of keyboard shortcuts without finding anything. Is there a place I could have found this?

And sorry for the unnecessary noise :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
