This is kind of stupid: Very useful features are hidden in WordPress 2.1 as “easter eggs”
Via Weblog Tools Collection and ReviewSaurus, I have learned that hitting ‘alt v’ (shift alt v in Firefox) while in the post editor brings up a variety of useful features such as underlining, changing text color, insert custom characters (©, œ, ü, ∞, ½, etc.) as well as some features forpasting from Word (which is useful for me since I sometimes write my posts in word) or pasting as plain text. You can also create headings and the like.
These are great features and shouldn’t be hidden. I wonder what else we’re missing out on.
Update: The Visualize Advanced Features plugin makes all of this visible.
