Shortcut	Action
Ctrl+1 .... Ctrl+5	Heading 1 .... Heading 5
Ctrl+q	Blockquote
Ctrl+d	Paragraph
Ctrl+e	Pre (Code Block)

The above inline code shortcut was changed to (Ctrl+Shift+E) in the closely following 0.12.1 release to prevent clashing with the save shortcut, For Macs the command key was also used in this release rather than the ctrl key
