    Are there key strokes to get to font type, size, leading etc? I was really hoping this clip would give me more than just navigation of the swatches panel.

    @Susan: One of the best ways to manage shortcuts for text sizes is using the Control panel. For example, you can press Command-6 to jump to the first field of the Control panel and then tab from one field to the next. Here’s more info on that:
