Its hard to know without knowing what plugin your referring to but ill explain what i believe each one means:
- Syntax highlighting - This is for when you create posts with codeblocks, you'll have to see what the plugin supports but more than likely it will be wrapped within a <pre> tag or <code> tag but it should display the code more neatly for you, like below:
var message = "This displays with JavaScript syntax";
console.log(message);
Keyboard shortcuts - Heres a bunch of built in shortcuts that are very handy
Visual Editor - This is mainly for if you are competent with writing in timyMCE text which WordPress uses when you are writing a new post, if you prefer to paste in html which many developers prefer over the visual editor
Biography info - Depending on your theme your using will depend if it is shown or not, if you want to show the information or find if the theme shows it, go to the author.php
and look for author meta data for "description", if you want to display it, you could enter something like the below to the author.php page
<p><?php esc_html_e( get_the_author_meta( "description" ) ) ?></p>
Good Luck!

Courses Plus Student 1,503 Pointsregarding Keyboard shortcuts, if it is disabled will cannot use keybord during creation of a post?
when disable Visual editor then we write in html code?
Regarding the theme, if it supports author description, in case we write few words about author will appear on the website?
If the theme doesnt supports the author description, it enter the above code could display it?
