Does anyone know, here in PF, what is the keyboard shortcut for the preview option, which let's you see (privately) how your post looks before you can make it public?

I do not think there is any. Otherwise, it would be noted:

Are you saying that PF has properly documented every feature? :wink:

Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
