Manually format text

Use shortcuts to apply common Paragraph + Character Styles.

The most common Paragraph and Character Styles have keyboard shortcuts that make changing styles more efficient. All of the shortcuts are a combination of Option/Alt and a number or letter. 

Paragraph Styles

  • Basic Content: Option/Alt+C
  • Bulleted list: Option/Alt+L
  • Numbered List - Simple: Option/Alt+N
  • Subheading (H2): Option/Alt+2
  • Subheading (H3): Option/Alt+3
  • Block Quote: Option/Alt+Q

Character Styles

  • !Pink-edits needed: Option/Alt+P
  • None: Option/Alt+0
Use the Paragraph + Character Styles Panels to make other format changes.Her
