Tumblr is ingrained into the fabric of the internet. Chances are you've read a Tumblr blog in your time, unbeknownst or otherwise; perhaps you even blog on it yourself. Whatever the case, you wouldn't think there's anything more to discover about the blogging platform.

That's where you'd be wrong. Did you know that Tumblr has loads of handy keyboard shortcuts you can use to navigate the dashboard and compose posts? Probably not. That's why we've rounded them all up here, available for you to refer to whenever you need them.

You can also access the keyboard shortcuts on Tumblr itself. Once logged in, click the person icon in the top-right and click Keyboard shortcuts from the menu that appears.
