Currently RadEditor does not support ShortCuts when its toolbar is set to RibbonBar. Possible option is to register the shortcut via client-side approach, by using the ShortcutManager object (http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/client-side-programming/shortcutmanager-object): <telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" ToolbarMode="RibbonBar" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad"> </telerik:RadEditor> <script> function OnClientLoad(editor, args) { editor.get_shortCutManager().addShortCut("TemplateManager", "CTRL+ALT+S"); } </script>
