Continuing the discussion from [Keyboard Shortcuts - post actions don't work](https://meta.discourse.org/t/keyboard-shortcuts-post-actions-dont-work/15946): (May 25, 2014)

I’m having the same issue as reported in the above topic.  
None of these shortcuts are working for me in  
Discourse Version 1.6.8 in Chrome 55.0.2883.95 (2883.95) on macOS 10.11.4:

```plaintext
 s Share post
 r Reply to post
 q Quote post
 l Like post
 ! Flag post
 b Bookmark post
 e Edit post
 d Delete post

```

Is this a known issue?

So I’m not sure what the “`q Quote post`” is supposed to do. If I have selected text in a post, and it shows:

Is there a shortcut key to use the quote, as if I had clicked on the popup?

Thanks.

BTW, I have done extensive searching, both here in the forum, and via Google, but could not find any recent topics that address this issue.
