Search, find and replace, and shortcuts

Ctrl below means Cmd on a Mac.

Jump or search everything

Press Ctrl+K. Type a title to jump to a book, chapter, wiki page or note, or type anything else to search the text of your whole project. The search page groups results by chapters, story wiki and notes.

Formatting

Write italics and bold as you would in a message, or select text and use the buttons that appear.

Ctrl+Shift+Enter	Scene break (a line with * * *)

The Live button hides the symbols (* and #) except where you are typing. It is off until you turn it on, and your choice is remembered on this device. Other Markdown works as it does anywhere: lines starting with # are headings, and lines starting with > are quotes.

]	Show or hide the wiki panel
Esc	Leave focus mode

The first two work when you are not typing in a field. The Focus button hides everything but the page.
