Title bar
Double-click the title to edit. Enter commits; Esc cancels. If the document's first line is # heading, it is rewritten; otherwise a fresh # title line is prepended.
Find / replace
Cmd+F toggles. Live current/total match count. Case-insensitive. Cmd+G / Cmd+Shift+G for next / previous. Esc hides.
Smart edits
- Smart-backspace: deletes back to the previous 4-space tab stop in leading whitespace.
- Auto-indent on Enter.
- Auto-indent after
{/[/(on line end. - Auto-dedent on
}/]/)typed at a whitespace-only prefix. - Tab / Shift+Tab indent / outdent to the nearest 4-space stop.
Undo / redo
200-entry bounded stack. Edits within 500ms of the previous same-kind edit coalesce. Structural operations push an explicit snapshot.
