Oftentimes I would find it useful to insert plaintext, to not be evaluated as input, right next to my input code. Is there a shortcut key to insert such a plaintext input box? I have relied on comments (shortcut key Alt+/), but as I use a touchscreen display and a small Bluetooth keyboard, it is a real hassle to select a line of text and hit Alt+/. So I was looking for something easier.

You can select up to the beginning of a line with Shift + Home – ssch Dec 06 '13 at 03:43

@ssch I know that! But I am typing on this Logitech Bluetooth keyboard which means I have to hit the FN key just to hit the home key. That means to do SHIFT + HOME and select the line, I have touch the screen at the start of the line, then hit FN + LEFT ARROW + SHIFT. – Identity Dec 06 '13 at 03:50

Fof, if you have found a solution that indeed satisfies you, consider posting it as an answer for your own question for everyone's benefit! You could even accept it if no better answer appears after some time. – István Zachar Dec 06 '13 at 08:21

@IstvánZachar accepting the answer to my own question looks lame though. Why don't you answer it and I'll accept it? – Identity Dec 06 '13 at 11:56

One other question I had (maybe needs to have its own question), is how to set the default Text style (e.g. its font, font size,), you know, for when you hit CTRL+ ENTER? – Identity Dec 06 '13 at 11:58

FoF, don't feel bad due to self-acceptance, happened to many of us. If it's helpful for the community, everyone should set aside hes/her own concerns :) – István Zachar Dec 06 '13 at 12:52
