Hubspot could do a lot more to improve its formatting functionality within emails.

For example, I always forget that Hubspot doesn’t accept quick keys, and then muscle-memory tap CTRL+[ and it takes me back a page, clearing out my entire draft, rather than just tabbing my bullet to the left like I wanted - a real pain!

Also, I just confirmed with a Hubspot support agent that clicking “More” within a Template makes the newly typed text appear in the default font, rather than the font included in the Template! That’s silly… if you’re adding tailored text to a Template it should remain as the font set for that Template.

Please push to improve your formatting functionality in Hubspot!

Other common quick keys that would be nice to adopt are:

- shift + command + 8 = bulleted list
- shift + command + 7 = numbered list
- command + [ = tab left
- command + ] = tab right

Thanks!
