Shortcuts

In addition to the toolbar at the top of the editor, Blocks exposes a robust collection of keyboard and Markdown shortcuts.

Block-level

Block level styling is applied by beginning a newline with a Block shortcut. They can also be used to toggle on/off a Block type.

Inline

When editing content in a Block you can apply styling to a subset by wrapping a portion of the content or even the whole line. This is useful for making items bold, italic, or highlighting some text.
