Shortcut key to open math equation editor

[ezaurova]

With the new RCE, the link to open the math equation editor is tucked away so it's now two (sometimes finicky and so usually more than two) clicks away rather than one click away.  It would be helpful, for those who insert equations into almost everything they write, to have a shortcut key to open the equation editor.

Hi @ezaurova -

Thank you for sharing! Yes, these are different ideas and should be submitted separately. That way, conversations can focus on each with the focus they deserve. I'm going to mark this Archived to prevent confusion, but please take the time to separate them into their own requests and we'll open in them up for conversation! 🐼

@KristinL I can't edit the original suggestion, but if you could just remove the second paragraph, then we can focus on the original issue.  Thank you.

Hi @ezaurova - Thank you for clarifying! I edited the idea for you.

Having a shortcut into the equation editor, especially into the advanced mode of the equation editor, would save me a boatload of time.  Please considering adding a shortcut for both modes.

Having a quick key to access the equation editor would be nice.

Having a shortcut into the equation editor, especially into the advanced mode, would be great.
