      I've developed a couple of simple workflows that serve quite well for the type of writing I do. I've assigned icons and placed them on the bookmarks bar in the editor.

      But I'm having a hard time getting shortcuts to work!

      I use the key combinations I'd like assigned as short cuts, and they appear in the various data about each work flow, (e.g. ^b) but when I invoke the shortcut key combination the workflow does not execute.

      Am I doing something wrong?

        You might want to use SHIFT + b or COMMAND + b instead.

        the abbreviation would simple be "b" with the appropriate modifier key.

          I gave that a try, and I've tried several other combinations since. Nothing seems to avail.

          For example, I have a very simple workflow that takes the selected text and wraps it in <sup></sup> (I do a lot of work with text that uses superscript). If I assign various shortcut key combinations (e.g., command+s, option+s, control+s or command+shift+s, option+shift+s & etc, or a symbol key or a number key) the workflow is not invoked.

          I have also noticed some odd behavior in digging further into this.

          • If I assign a keyboard combination (say, command+i) to a workflow, pressing that key alone without the "modifier key" (in this example just the i key without the command key), I hear a clicking sound if that key is pressed immediately to the right of white space, either as the first character in a new paragraph or after a space between words.

          • However, if I press that key immediately after another character, with no intervening white space, the i character appears!

          • I've tried this with various keys, symbols and numbers and get the same behavior in each case.

          So at the moment I'm stumped in re: the shortcut keys. I hope to find a solution soon, as this would be a very handy feature to have.

          I am using a New Trent keyboard on my iPad Air, which is running the most up to date version of iOS 8.0.2

            I've heard there are keyboard issues with IOS 8. I have found a few bugs in version 8.0.2 myself.
