      It doesn't seem to be possible to change the text alignment using the keyboard in the RTE. I'd expect ctrl-L, ctrl-E and ctrl-R to work as they do in standard word processing applications, but this is not the case.

      I can't see the text-alignment options listed at all in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog either..

            As a Macbook User I stumbled upon this shortcut for centering the text --> CMD + Option + E, are there also shortcuts for left and right?

            It is a very simple and needed feature. Please, add it as soon as possible.

            This is a standard feature of any text editor... except Confluence?

            Please give this a nudge in your priorities.

            Why stop at text alignment?  All functionality should accessible from the keyboard.

            One more vote for this keyboard shortcut - it's frustrating from an efficiency standpoint. Thanks!

            I am shocked to see that it's 2022, COVID has come and now almost gone, and yet here we are in a world where Confluence still has no basic keyboard shortcut for Center alignment.
