Keyboard shortcuts

At the start of an empty line, Markdown prefixes such as #, -, 1., [], >, and --- change the block when you press Space. The Write with blocks guide lists the full set.

Move the current block with Option+↑ or Option+↓ on Mac (Alt+↑ / Alt+↓ on Windows). Escape closes the slash menu; in Focus writing, Escape also leaves Focus.

Copy as Markdown also appears next to Copy in the text context menu and in the block menu.

1. Copy as Markdown: Command+Shift+C
2. Move block up: Option+↑
3. Move block down: Option+↓

These defaults apply on Mac with Command; use Control in place of Command on Windows where the app runs. Customize Quick Note and Search in Settings → Keyboard. Other shortcuts are listed there for reference.

1. Hide notes: Command+Shift+N
2. Star or unstar the current document: Command+D
3. Focus writing: Command+Shift+F
4. Toggle sidebar: Command+B
5. Search: Command+K by default, or the shortcut you set in Settings → Keyboard

Open Settings → Keyboard to change Quick Note and Search, and to review the fixed shortcuts for editing and navigation. Quick Note also appears in the Ligature menu and the menu bar item when enabled.
