CKEditor strange style change behavior

Question

If you are going to make a piece of text bold/italic or want to change its font size in CKEditor, you have to select it, but other editors (such as TinyMCE) or even MS Word allow user to apply styles without a need to select the text, ie if no text is selected, current word style (cursor position) is changed. Is there any way to perform such an action in CKEditor? Any option or parameter?

Answer 1

A couple of workaround:

• If you're using your mouse, just double click the word
• If you want to do it while typing (OSX) Option + Shift + Right arrow (Win) Ctrl + Shift + Right arrow will select the next word.

Hope this helps, cheers!
