The discussion centers around the absence of a keyboard shortcut for the preview option in PF, which allows users to privately view their posts before making them public. Participants express skepticism about the completeness of PF's documentation regarding features. Multiple users attempt various key combinations, including Ctrl, Alt, and Shift with no success in finding a preview shortcut. Some strange responses to certain combinations are noted, but none are related to the preview function. Overall, the consensus is that no keyboard shortcut for preview exists in PF.

This post is trying all ctrl/key combinations to search for "Preview"; hope it doesn't crash. None found...

Trying alt/key. None found.

Trying ctrl/alt/key. None found.

Trying ctrl/shift/key. None found.

Trying ctrl/alt/shift/key. None found. (no response at all)

Cheers,
Tom
 
I suggest we should try with Ctrl+(All alphabet keys) - one at a time, 26 times. :-p
 

Thread 'Why Are You Still Here? A Curious Question'

Hello everyone, I recently revisited Physics Forums after a long hiatus (about 4-5 years) and started catching up on the recent discussions.
