Hi,  
Using FF on linux, Keyboard shortcut ‘e’ for edit post doesn’t work. Other shortcuts do work, for example g \> c does go to categories.

I have an extension called vimfx that could steal shortcuts but it is dissabled for the domain where this discourse forum is.

Thanks!

Did you highlight the post you want to edit via j / k?

ah, that was it. I have to highlight it before the sigle key actions apply.  
Thanks!

is there a way to maximize the editor with a shortcut?  
And focus the text area?  
I’m hoping to get a fast workflow to edit posts as easily as with a desktop editor.
