Nope, did NOT have the post selected. Didn’t know I needed to.  
How are users supposed to know this from the Shortcut Keys popup?

May I propose a small change to the Shortcut Keys popup to clarify this?

This is just a simple mockup. Of course you guys can use any style you wish that is clear.

Thanks.
