Slash Commands
Type / anywhere in the editor to open a menu of insertable blocks. Start typing to filter — for example, /head narrows to headings. Press Enter to insert.
Slash commands work in both the web app and the macOS app. The macOS app has a richer set, including attachment commands and an interactive table picker.
How to use it
- In the body of any page, type
/on a new line or after whitespace. - A dropdown appears with available blocks.
- Type to filter. The match is case-insensitive substring on the command label, so
/quote,/Quote,/uote, and/quall surface the Quote command. Enterinserts.Esccloses the menu. Use arrow keys to pick.

Tables on macOS
The /table command on macOS opens a 10×10 hover grid. Pick a size — say 4 rows by 3 columns — and an interactive table is inserted. From there you can:
- Type into any cell directly.
TabandShift+Tabto move between cells.Enterto insert a new row below.- Use the floating toolbar above the table to align columns, add or delete rows or columns, and sort by a column.
Attachments on macOS
The /attachment, /image, /audio, /video, and /pdf commands all open a native file picker. Selected files are stored in _assets/ in your vault and embedded inline. See Attachments & Files.
Filtering tips
- Type partial matches:
/calnarrows to all callouts. - Numbers in commands work:
/h2matches Heading 2. - Capitalization doesn't matter.
