Changing RichEdit Font styles with HotKey combinations
Question:
How can I change the RichEdit font style in response to a dedicated keystroke combination?
Answer:
The following example demonstrates changing the font style in a
TRichEdit component the following key combinations are pressed:
Ctrl + B - Turns on and off Bold styling
Ctrl + I - Turns on and off Italic styling
Ctrl + S - Turns on and off Strikeout styling
Ctrl + U - Turns on and off Underline styling
Note: It is possible to set the font to include multiple styles.

const
KEY_CTRL_B = 02;
KEY_CTRL_I = 9;
KEY_CTRL_S = 19;
KEY_CTRL_U = 21;
procedure TForm1.RichEdit1KeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char);
begin
case Ord(Key) of
KEY_CTRL_B: begin
Key := #0;
if fsBold in (Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style then
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style :=
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style - [fsBold] else
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style :=
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style + [fsBold];
end;
KEY_CTRL_I: begin
Key := #0;
if fsItalic in
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style then
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style :=
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style - [fsItalic]
else
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style :=
(Sender as TRichEdit).SelAttributes.Style + [fsItalic];
end;
