The keyboard shortcuts to format text (bold, italic, link, etc.) do _not_ work for me, neither in my own forum, nor in this forum.

When e.g. pressing Ctrl+B nothing happens.

I’m on a German Windows 8.1 with Google Chrome Dev Channel (Version 44.0.2369.0 dev-m (64-bit))

**Update:**

- Not working for me on Firefox, too.
- Not working for me on Internet Explorer 11, too.

@techAPJ we recently ripped out some code, is this related?

I suspect this regression is due to this commit by @eviltrout

Indeed it was my fault!
