Slash Commands
Type / on any line to open the command menu. It appears near the cursor and filters as you type. Navigate with arrow keys and press Enter to insert, or click an item.
The menu repositions itself automatically if there isn't enough room below the cursor.
Available commands:
| Command | What it inserts |
|---|---|
| Text | Plain paragraph |
| Heading 1 | Large section heading |
| Heading 2 | Medium section heading |
| Heading 3 | Small section heading |
| Bullet List | Unordered list |
| Numbered List | Ordered list |
| Quote | Blockquote |
| Code Block | Fenced code block with copy button |
| Divider | Horizontal rule |
| Image | Opens the file picker to insert a single image |
| Image Grid | Inserts an empty image grid block |
Inline Formatting
Standard TipTap keyboard shortcuts work:
| Shortcut | Effect |
|---|---|
Cmd/Ctrl + B | Bold |
Cmd/Ctrl + I | Italic |
Cmd/Ctrl + E | Code |
Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + X | Strikethrough |
You can also use Markdown-style triggers as you type. Typing **text** produces bold, *text* produces italic, and backtick-wrapped text produces inline code.
Headings
Type # followed by a space at the start of a line for H1, ## for H2, and so on up to H6. You can also insert headings from the slash menu.
Pressing Backspace at the beginning of a heading converts it back to a paragraph.
Lists
Start a line with -, *, or + followed by a space for a bullet list. Start with 1. for a numbered list. Press Tab to nest, Shift+Tab to un-nest.
Code Blocks
Insert a code block from the slash menu or type triple backticks. Code blocks render in a monospace font with a copy button in the top-right corner. Click the copy button to copy the block contents to the clipboard.
Blockquotes
Type > followed by a space at the start of a line. Blockquotes render with a left border and italic text.
Markdown Paste
When you paste plain text that contains Markdown syntax (headings, bold, lists, code blocks, links, etc.), Noted automatically converts it to formatted content. This only triggers when the clipboard has no HTML version of the content. If the clipboard includes HTML, the HTML is used directly.
Markdown Copy
When you copy text from the editor, the plain-text clipboard slot receives a Markdown representation of the content. This means you can paste your notes into any Markdown-aware tool and get clean formatting.
Complex blocks like image grids may not round-trip perfectly through Markdown copy. The images are serialized as standard Markdown image syntax, but the grid layout metadata is not preserved in the plain-text copy.
