Does anyone know what would be the keyboard shortcut for strikethrough in TextEdit?

 

Thanks!

You're welcome Chris. Good solution on the Default shortcut. All the styles from the Styles list only revert by selecting Default when using the Styles list. For those text formatting options (bold, italic, underline, and outline) available from the menu bar by navigating to Format > Font, the available keyboard shortcuts will revert the style even when set from the Styles list.

    Thanks, but the strikethrough shortcut doesn't seem to be there.

    Perhaps there isn't one available in TextEdit. I did not find one.

    Hi Chris. Create a user defined app shortcut. Navigate to  > System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts and click the button. Select TextEdit.app as the application, input "Struck through"  as the menu title, and press a key combination for the keyboard shortcut. Click Add. Strikethrough isn't available for the plain text format. Using the GUI, strikethrough is available from the Styles drop-down list.

    Thank you so much Roote!

     

    There is one problem remaining, though: it's impossible to remove the strikethrough after hitting "alt+cmd+s".

     

    The only workaround I found is to attribute a shortcut to "Default" (I did "cmd+D") so I can easily remove the strikethrough.

     

    Thanks again!

     

    Chris.
