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 ā or the word under the cursor ā in Simple Markdown markers.
- They toggle: applying one a second time removes the markers. Bold and italic can be combined.
ā + ā§ + H cycles the current line through # ā ## ā ### ā no heading.
- Every one of them can be remapped in Settings > Shortcuts.

Move lines
- Move the current line ā or all selected lines ā up and down without cutting and pasting.
