Bold, italic, and underline (Yahoo mail)
Hello, I notice that (unlike IE and Microsoft Word), when typing an email in Yahoo Mail, CTRL-B does not make text bold, CTRL-I does not make text italicized, and CTRL-U does not make text underlined. Instead, one gets bookmarks for the first two and source code for the third.
As I don't like to take my fingers off the keyboard if I don't need to, this is a bit problematic.
Is there a way to reset these CTRL commands to do the things I'm used to them doing?
Many thanks for your help.

Yahoo doesn't support rich text for Firefox. Users have to depend on an extension. I don't know if this gives one the ability to use the standard keyboard shortcuts.

This person seems to have developed a code-based solution to this problem, but it's not a plugin, just code. Does anyone know how I could install this in order to be able to use CTRL-B for bold, CTRL-I for italics, etc.?

This should work for Yahoo:

.
Some sites feature rich text editors that allow you to easily format (bold, italicize, etc.) text. However, some sites have not been coded to work with Firefox and Mozilla Suite's Midas feature; they only work in Internet Explorer.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Mine has wandered off and I'm out looking for it.
