The editor basics

Plainwork uses a rich markdown editor. You can type plain text and it just works, or use keyboard shortcuts for formatting.

Formatting shortcuts

Shortcut	Result
⌘+B	Bold
⌘+I	Italic
⌘+⇧+X	Strikethrough
⌘+E	Inline code
⌘+Z / ⌘+⇧+Z	Undo / Redo

Markdown shortcuts

Type and a space at the start of a line to trigger formatting:

• # → heading 1
• ## → heading 2
• ### → heading 3
• #### → heading 4
• - or * → bullet list
• 1. → numbered list
• > → blockquote
• ``` → code block

Blocks

Select text and use the bubble menu to toggle formatting, or use the block handle (hover the left margin) to drag or transform a block into a heading, list, quote, callout, or toggle.
