Keyboard shortcuts for bold, italic, headings, and moving lines.
Design intent: Format text at the speed of thought, with the shortcuts your fingers already know.
- These shortcuts wrap the selection — or the word under the cursor — in Simple Markdown markers.
- They toggle: applying one a second time removes the markers. Bold and italic can be combined.
⌘ + ⇧ + H cycles the current line through # → ## → ### → no heading.- Every one of them can be remapped in Settings > Shortcuts.

- Move the current line — or all selected lines — up and down without cutting and pasting.
- Each move is a single undo step.
