Additional Tips
Editor Scope
Formatting, heading, list, quote, code, undo, redo, and select-all shortcuts work in both the note editor and the eulogy editor. Saving with Ctrl/ Cmd + S is only available in the final message note editor.
Toolbar-Only Actions
Links, images, colors, highlights, and emojis are available from toolbar buttons when the current editor exposes them. Those actions do not have dedicated keyboard shortcuts wired today.
Platform Differences
Windows and Linux use Ctrl based shortcuts. Mac uses Cmd and Option equivalents. This guide shows both combinations side by side so you do not need platform detection.
Keyboard Navigation
Most formatting shortcuts only work while the editor itself is focused. Use Tab and Shift + Tab to move between controls, then Enter or Space to activate the focused button.
