## Description

The WYSIWYG Inline Code Command plugin adds an “inline code” command to the
 WYSIWYG(
visual) post and page editor. It’s just like the “Bold” or “Italics” commands, except
that it makes your text look like code — usually, this means that it’s drawn in 
a monospace font `like this`. The comand is accessible as a button and with the 
keybinding `Alt-Shift-C`.

The unmodified editor does provide a `pre` style that’s somewhat similar, but
 it’s
a _block_ style, which means that you can only apply it to whole paragraphs. I wrote
this plugin because I found that I often want to apply code styling to shorter pieces
of computer-y content, such as the Alt-Shift-C above.

I encourage you to provide feedback about this plugin. Entries on the
 compatibility
matrix are especially helpful so that people can feel confident installing it. Thanks!

The WYSIWIG Inline Code Command plugin provides precisely this one feature, so
 
don’t expect it to be updated very often. One issue that I’m aware but don’t know
quite how to fix is that the user-visible text describing the command in the editor
isn’t internationalized.

## Installation

Installation is as simple as possible:

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `wysiwyg-inline-code-command` directory
     in your`/
    wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Edit a post or a page. Select some text, and either hit the new button
     that looks
    like “</>”, or press `Alt-Shift-C`.
 4. That’s all there is to it!

Thank you, this simple plugin works fine and is saving me time. Before I had to 
switch to the code editor to insert a code tag.

Keybaord shortcut no longer works and it would be nice with some easy way to apoply
custom formatting (can always add CSS to .pln, I know) Other than that, works fine.

This is a simple, single-purpose plugin. Makes it very easy to insert code into 
posts.

Does one thing, and does it well. No bells and whistles, just a simple code button
added to the end of the top row in the WYSIWYG editor. Saves me A TON of time, as
I’m writing a bunch of technical tutorials on my blog. Thanks Peter.
