The form text is controlled by the design of the web page. Now if you mean you want to format text on say a variety of text/word documents on your computer with the keyboard that is really controlled by the editor you are using. |

Forums and similar web services let you do this, but for most of the time you are restricted to using capitals or special symbols for emphasising parts of you text. You are not in complete control of formatting, like you are when using your desktop word processor. Keyboard shortcuts in web apps are not yet very common. In short: Every web service or web app is different, there is no standard as to what formatting, if any, they will let you perform, neither is there any universal keyboard shortcuts in place. Internet Explorer has keyboard shortcuts, but they apply to the browser itself - not the contents of web pages displayed.
