Formatting & Editor Tools
Format your records with rich text, code blocks, links, and more.
The Goodterm editor gives you a full set of formatting tools to structure your records clearly. You can use the toolbar buttons or keyboard shortcuts — whichever feels faster.
Text Formatting
| Format | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bold | Ctrl+B | Make text stand out |
| Italic | Ctrl+I | Emphasize text |
Ctrl+Shift+X | Mark text as no longer relevant | |
Inline Code | Ctrl+E | Highlight code, commands, or technical terms within a sentence |
Select the text you want to format, then press the shortcut or click the corresponding toolbar button.
Headings
Use headings to give your records a clear structure. Four heading levels are available:
| Heading | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Heading 1 | Ctrl+Alt+1 |
| Heading 2 | Ctrl+Alt+2 |
| Heading 3 | Ctrl+Alt+3 |
| Heading 4 | Ctrl+Alt+4 |
Place your cursor on a line and press the shortcut to turn it into a heading.
Lists
| List Type | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Bullet List | Ctrl+Shift+8 |
| Numbered List | Ctrl+Shift+7 |
Press Tab to indent a list item and Shift+Tab to outdent it. Press Enter on an empty list item to exit the list.
Block Elements
Blockquotes (Ctrl+Shift+B) are great for highlighting important notes or quoting external sources. They visually set the text apart from the rest of your content.
Code Blocks (Ctrl+Alt+C) let you write multi-line code with syntax highlighting. After inserting a code block, you can select a programming language from the dropdown to get proper highlighting.
Links
Select text and use the toolbar to turn it into a link. You can also paste a URL while text is selected to create a link directly.
Line Operations (VS Code Style)
If you are used to VS Code, you will feel right at home with these shortcuts:
- Copy entire line: Place your cursor on a line (without selecting anything) and press
Ctrl+Cto copy the entire line. - Cut entire line: Place your cursor on a line (without selecting anything) and press
Ctrl+Xto cut the entire line.
These work just like in VS Code — when nothing is selected, the operation applies to the whole line.
