Need keyboard shortcuts

There is not an option to bold or italicize text within a Button in the new editor. In Chrome, I can click Ctrl-B to bold as a work-around; however, the changes are not saved when I close and reopen the editor.

"Cut" or Ctrl+X needs to cut the selected text and put it in the clipboard, ie queue it to be pasted (like all other word processing tools on earth). Right now all Ctrl+X does is effectively delete text.

You can't use ctrl-b to bold and other commands which would be nice to have shorthands for.

Hi @OriettaS -- Unfortunately, Firefox overrides certain common keyboard shortcuts. It doesn't appear that Firefox plans on addressing this issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418169

Make it easy to insert a standard superscript symbol like "TM" or "(R)" in an email.  Use Word as your model. I have to call support each time or try to remember the HTML code. At the very least, provide the instructions in FAQs, I couldn't find anything.
