The alt-shift-A keyboard shortcut behaving weirdly

Hello,

This is another of my favorite kind of posts, the “I saw something wrong but I don’t know if I’m the only person affected by this”.

When it happens : not in the Visual Editor, in HTML editing mode.

When I select a block of text and hit my good old keyboard shortcut to create an hyperlink, Alt – Shift – A, instead of popping up the Javascript hyperlink creating window, it simply positions the “cursor” on the “link” button (as if I clicked around it, or as if I had been using the tab-tab-tab-tab-tab-taaaaaaaabbbbbb keyboard navigation, you see the idea ?)

The solution is simple : hit Space, and the menu pops up, af if I had clicked it.

But other users may be taken aback or miss the trick to hit Space.

I don’t know if I’m the only person having this problem, but at least, I’ve come to report it ??

Best Regards,
Sabinou
