[SOLVED] Need a "keyboard shortcut" to change selected text's "text color" in Gmail replies

[John Dohe]

I use the GMail web interface, in Firefox, for all my email needs.


I frequently change the color of text that I quoted from the Sender in my GMail replies.


Example:


Hi,


You wrote, ". . . a;sdkfjasl;fkjasl;kfj . . . ,"


and I just want to say that I agree totally.


I'm having to select the Sender's text and then mouse & click to change its color.


I need a keyboard shortcut to change selected text to, say, black, from my default
color of blue.


Ideas?


Thanks!

Gmail web interface has no keyboard shortcuts for text color https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6594?hl=en#zippy=

If you use a desktop program like Outlook for email they usually have a format option for a reply.
