With the addition of new link features it would be nice to have the following shortcuts:

• to edit the link at keyboard cursor (show the edit-link popup)
• to create a new link from selected text (using the text as label, url field should be focused)
• to open the link at keyboard cursor (so links could be opened without using mouse)

  Hi Alexander,

  I think you can hit Tab when your link icon teaser is showing (to activate the link editor).

  Thank you for your suggestions!

  Thanks, that's really helpful. I assumed there's no key because I couldn't find it in the "Ctrl+/" panel.

  Would still like to have the other two or at least the one to open the link.

  +1 to the ability to convert existing text into a link! Is this possible somehow?

   

  I often run into the situation where I want to add a link to an existing bullet, and it makes sense to convert existing text into that link. At the moment, I have to paste the link, cut the existing text, go into the link editor, and paste it back in. Would be nice for the link editor button to pop up if I highlight text! It would be the same functionality as when you hover over an existing link (click or <tab> to open link editor)

  Hi folks!

  We're going to be building on the current implementation soon and will allow for the "regular" embedded hyperlink behavior :-)
