WYSIWYG Inline Code Command

Description

The WYSIWYG Inline Code Command plugin adds an “inline code” command to the
WYSIWYG (visual) post and page editor. It’s just like the “Bold” or “Italics”
commands, except that it makes your text look like code — usually, this means
that it’s drawn in a monospace font like this. The comand is accessible as a
button and with the keybinding Alt-Shift-C.

The unmodified editor does provide a pre style that’s somewhat similar, but
it’s a block style, which means that you can only apply it to whole
paragraphs. I wrote this plugin because I found that I often want to apply
code styling to shorter pieces of computer-y content, such as the
Alt-Shift-C above.

I encourage you to provide feedback about this plugin. Entries on the
compatibility matrix are especially helpful so that people can feel confident
installing it. Thanks!

The WYSIWIG Inline Code Command plugin provides precisely this one feature, so
don’t expect it to be updated very often. One issue that I’m aware but don’t
know quite how to fix is that the user-visible text describing the command in
the editor isn’t internationalized.

Installation

Installation is as simple as possible:

1. Upload the plugin files to the wysiwyg-inline-code-command directory
   in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Edit a post or a page. Select some text, and either hit the new button
   that looks like “</>”, or press Alt-Shift-C.
4. That’s all there is to it!

It works

Thank you, this simple plugin works fine and is saving me time. Before I had to switch to the code editor to insert a code tag.

Does what it says on the tin

Keybaord shortcut no longer works and it would be nice with some easy way to apoply custom formatting (can always add CSS to .pln, I know) Other than that, works fine.

Simple, makes life easier

This is a simple, single-purpose plugin. Makes it very easy to insert code into posts.

Simple plugin. Works great. Huge time-saver!

Does one thing, and does it well. No bells and whistles, just a simple code button added to the end of the top row in the WYSIWYG editor. Saves me A TON of time, as I’m writing a bunch of technical tutorials on my blog. Thanks Peter.
