Unmarked keyboard shortcuts

Switch modes with ⌘E, start Present with ⌥⌘P, find with ⌘F, and export with ⇧⌘E. The full set is grouped below, with the exact macOS keys.

Unmarked uses standard Mac shortcuts wherever they exist, so most of these are already in your fingers. Settings ▸ Shortcuts shows the same list in the app.

Document and files

Action	Shortcut
New document	`⌘N`
Open	`⌘O`
Save	`⌘S`

Unmarked saves on its own shortly after you stop typing, so ⌘S only does work the first time you save a brand-new untitled document. After that there is no Save step to remember.

Modes

Action	Shortcut
Toggle Read and Write	`⌘E`

Read mode shows the rendered document, Write mode shows the source, and ⌘E flips between them. The Read/Write control in the toolbar does the same.

Presenting

Action	Shortcut
Start Present	`⌥⌘P`
Next slide	`→`, `Space`, or `Page Down`
Previous slide	`←` or `Page Up`
First slide	`Home`
Last slide	`End`
Blank screen to black	`B`
Blank screen to white	`W`
End Present	`Esc` or `⌘.`

Up and Down scroll a slide with more content than fits. Once it fits, or you reach the end, they move between slides. Any key brings a black or white blank screen back to the slide.

Present a Markdown document as slides has the slide-break rules, mouse controls, and the rest of the presenting behavior.

Writing and formatting

Action	Shortcut
Bold	`⌘B`
Italic	`⌘I`
Link	`⌘K`
Heading 1 to 6	`⌘1` to `⌘6`
Paragraph	`⌘0`
Toggle task checkbox	`⌘L`

These work in Write mode. Inline code has no shortcut: select the text and click Code in the floating format toolbar, or type a backtick on each side of it.

Action	Shortcut
Insert table	`⌥⌘T`

Table is the one item in the menu bar's Insert menu with a shortcut. The same menu also holds Image…, Code Block, Divider, Quote, Bullet List, and Task List, all for Write mode. Set your own shows how to give any of them a key.

Action	Shortcut
Export	`⇧⌘E`
Print	`⌘P`
Copy as Rich Text	`⌥⌘C`

Export opens PDF, Word, and HTML.

Editing

Action	Shortcut
Find	`⌘F`
Undo	`⌘Z`
Redo	`⇧⌘Z`

Set your own

You can remap any command in Unmarked's menus, or give one a shortcut it doesn't have. Open System Settings ▸ Keyboard ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts ▸ App Shortcuts, add Unmarked, and type the exact menu command name with the key combination you want. macOS applies it the next time Unmarked launches.
