Slash Blocks

Type / at the start of a line to open a quick-access block menu — inspired by Superlist and Notion. Pick a block type and the corresponding Markdown is inserted instantly. Works on both desktop and mobile.

Available blocks

• Task — inserts a to-do checkbox (- [ ] )
• Paragraph — plain text (clears the slash command)
• Heading 1 / 2 / 3 — Markdown headings
• Divider — horizontal rule (---)
• Bullet list — unordered list item
• Numbered list — ordered list item
• Blockquote — quote block
• Image — image syntax with cursor placed inside the URL parentheses
• Attachment — link syntax with cursor placed inside the URL parentheses

Usage

1. Place your cursor at the beginning of a line (or after a space).
2. Type /.
3. A suggestion menu appears — keep typing to filter, or use the arrow keys.
4. Press Enter to insert the selected block.
