As a power user, I learn new hotkeys every time I got a new software. Wordpress - just like other softwares, have a set of hotkeys for power users when composing blog entry.

Rather than reaching for your mouse to click on the toolbar, use these access keys. Windows and Linux use Ctrl + letter. Macintosh uses Command + letter.
