How do I insert a block with the slash menu?
Type / in a note and pick a block from the menu.
- Open the note in Edit mode and put the caret where the block goes.
- Type
/. The menu lists commands under Blocks, Inline and Insert. - Keep typing to narrow the list, like
/tableor/h2. - Press ↑ or ↓ and Return, or click a command. Esc closes the menu.
Shortcut: ⌘/ opens the menu at the caret.
Other ways
- Click Insert block (+) in the toolbar at the top of the note.
Good to know
- The menu opens at the start of a line or after a space, so text like
a/bstays as typed. - It doesn't open inside code blocks or math.
- To change a block that's already there, click its handle in the left margin and choose Turn into.
