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.

bold | *bold* | ⌘ + b | *text* |
