Eeek, some keystroke(s) changed message window to source code view

[quote user="mollym"]

OK, I'm writing along and I evidently hit some key or combination of keys that changed the text view to source code -- with no visible way to change it back to text.Can't find any help either here or in Firefox.

If the keystrokes (or however I did this) are peculiar to this forum, can anyone tell me...

how I did this

Is it a toggle

and if not, how can I revert to the normal message writing view?

================

And if I hit some Firefox "show source code" combination, perhaps someone who's more familiar with, or more patient with, Firefox can help me find the answer?

TIA

After a few decades using Pegasus Mail this is the first time I heard of such "feature", but who knows the keystrokes that make TER tickle... Are we talking about Pegasus Mail or something else? If so, can we infer "source code" is a message RAW view? Please elaborate.

If you are talking about "writing along" as in creating a post on this forum, and you had some text selected, a right click followed by an "e" would trigger the "View selection source" function.  I don't know if this is what happened though because it opens up in a new Firefox tab so should not cause confusion about how to return to the forum page.
