Wouldn’t it be convenient to select a sentence or paragraph and instantly wrap it with quotes by tapping on the quote key? This is a fun little feature that was tucked into the Gutenberg 13.9 changelog last month with very little fanfare:
Rich text: Add character shortcuts for wrapping selection. (42469)
The new shortcut is a rich text feature contributed by Automattic-sponsored WordPress core committer Ella van Durpe. It works in a similar way that pasting a link over selection will auto-link the text instead of replace it, a feature that landed seven years ago which she also worked on.
