I'd like to see keyboard support / keyboard accelerators added to the editor for at least the following:
BOLD (Ctrl + B)
ITALIC (Ctrl + I)
UNDERLINE (Ctrl + U)
Also, I'd like to see support for embedded [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] tags added. These are pretty basic editing features on most other sites.
One other feature that's kinda nice is support for multi-quotes, that is: quoting from two or more previous messages in a single reply.

I think the reason youtube embedding isn't allowed, is to keep the board from appearing too cluttered. Good enough for me. I don't mind clicking a link.
BTW, you can already quote multiple posts. Just click the "insert quote" link under previous posts while replying. Scroll down....it's right there.

...and RoS have managed to post nearly 10 000 posts without those features....
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Keyboard modifiers in the editor are not technically possible unfortunately. The Youtube thing has already been addressed previously and I don't think we'd have enough support for me to be willing to change it. We do appreciate any suggestions though so don't be discouraged from posting more ideas if any of you have them.
