Editor Formatting Reference

The Inklings editor is built on TipTap with a persistent undo history. Formatting is applied as marks and block types. Undo and redo persist across sessions.

Inline marks

Inline marks apply to a text selection within a block. Marks can be stacked — bold and italic can both apply to the same text simultaneously.

Mark	Keyboard	Toolbar	Effect
Bold	`Cmd+B`	B button	Heavier font weight
Italic	`Cmd+I`	I button	Slanted text
Strikethrough	`Cmd+Shift+S`	S button	Horizontal line through text
Inline code	`Cmd+E`	`< >` button	Monospace, styled background

To remove a mark: select the formatted text and apply the same shortcut or toolbar button again.

Block types

Block types apply to the entire current block. Only one block type can be active at a time.

Block type	Keyboard	Markdown trigger	Appearance
Paragraph	—	—	Default prose
Heading 1	`Cmd+Alt+1`	`#`	Largest heading
Heading 2	`Cmd+Alt+2`	`##`	Second-level heading
Heading 3	`Cmd+Alt+3`	`###`	Third-level heading
Bullet list	`Cmd+Shift+8`	`-` or `*`	Unordered list with bullet markers
Numbered list	`Cmd+Shift+7`	`1.`	Ordered list with auto-incrementing numbers
Blockquote	`Cmd+Shift+B`	`>`	Indented block with left border
Code block	—	```	Full-width monospace block

Markdown triggers work by typing the listed sequence at the very start of an empty block and then pressing Space or Enter.

Code blocks

Code blocks support an optional language annotation. Set the language using the language input on the code block (if present) or by typing ```typescript as the opening fence. Supported languages render with appropriate syntax highlighting labels.

Undo and redo

Action	Keyboard
Undo	`Cmd+Z`
Redo	`Cmd+Shift+Z`

The undo stack is persistent. Undo history is preserved when you navigate away from a page and return — there is no autosave boundary that resets undo state.

Auto-save

The editor saves content automatically after a short debounce following each keystroke (approximately 300 ms). There is no manual save button. A save indicator in the editor reflects the current save state.

Wiki-links

Type [[ to open the wiki-link autocomplete. Select a page from the dropdown to insert a link. The link appears as a styled inline element. If the target page doesn’t exist yet, the link renders as a ghost link — it activates automatically when the page is created.
