Are there keyboard shortcuts for the Code Editor?

For example, it would be nice to hit a key combination to submit my code, move on, etc. However, you can’t tab over to a button, because tabs are required in editing your code. is there a way to navigate Code Academy without a mouse?

A quick Google search found these 3 on the Code Academy blog. I searched for it & found that and also this post here after finding that CTRL+Enter (a common shortcut for submitting) worked and was hoping for more. The next lesson shortcut unfortunately only works until the end of a section. I dislike using the mouse for trivial things, so I hope they improve that shortcut.

Here’s a cheat-sheet you can follow

Reset Exercise Completely messed up a solution? Start fresh.

Windows: Alt-R Mac: Option-R Next Exercise Peek at the exercises ahead. Get excited by what the section has in store you!

Windows: Alt-P Mac: Option-P Previous Exercise Want to retrace your steps to solve the current problem? Revisit an exercise to see all you’ve done!

Windows: Alt-O Mac: Option-O Save and Submit Ready to see if it works?

Windows: Control-Enter Mac: Command-Enter

If you look at the answer above yours, you will see that ctrl-enter will submit your code.

edit: oops….that answer wasn’t there then…

Fortunately, Codecademy has a documentation for it. (Both PC and Mac)

I’ve checked the documentation however the shortcuts are not working for me. Well no, specifically the Save & Submit one. Does anyone know of a solution.

I don’t think there is, I tried hitting “Enter” on my keyboard, and it will just make up some space! But you can wait for someone else to Answer!
