How do I add headings, lists, to-dos, quotes or code blocks?

Type / and pick the block, or type its Markdown at the start of a line.

Checked against Terra 0.1.0
  1. Start a new line.
  2. Type / and choose Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Bullet list, Numbered list, To-do, Quote or Code block.
  3. Or type the Markdown, then a space:
    • #, ## or ### for a heading
    • - or * for a bullet
    • 1. for a numbered list
    • [ ] for a to-do
    • > for a quote
    • ``` for a code block

Shortcut: ⌥⌘1, ⌥⌘2 or ⌥⌘3 for a heading. ⇧⌘8 bullets, ⇧⌘7 numbers, ⇧⌘9 to-dos, ⇧⌘B quote, ⌥⌘C code block.

Other ways

  • Click Turn into in the note's toolbar to change the current block. Task and Code block have their own buttons there.
  • Click a block's handle in the left margin and choose Turn into.

Good to know

  • Tab and ⇧Tab indent and outdent list items.
  • Click a to-do's box to move it through open, in progress, done and cancelled.
  • A # followed by a word, with no space between, makes a tag, not a heading.
  • Add a language after the backticks, like ```python, to set the code block's language.
