## Description
The **Pre** button toggles the preformatted style on the selected text or the current
line (applies `` tag to blocks).
The **Code** button toggles the code style
on the selected text or the current word (applies `` tag to inline elements).
The default shortcuts for the buttons are:
* Ctrl+Q – Pre
* Ctrl+D – Code
In the admin **Settings submenu** it’s possible to **change** these shortcuts.
Press a key combination in the text fields with the **Ctrl** key included and the
text will be filled automatically. Or you can type it manually.
Some combinations may _conflict_ with the _default_ editor or browser shortcuts.
So check them on your instance.
You may use these types of shortcuts:
* `Ctrl+B, .., Z (except AXCV)`
* `Ctrl+0, .., 9`
* `Ctrl+[symbols] (-=\`[];'\/,.)`
* `Ctrl+F1, .., F12`
* `Ctrl+Pad0, .., Pad9`
* `Ctrl+Pad/, Pad*, Pad+, Pad.`
* `Ctrl+Shift+...`
* `Ctrl+Alt+...`
* `Ctrl+Shift+Alt+...`
