Creating a code span using keyboard only?
-
I often use Day One for code related work notes. It’s great that
` (three backticks) trigger a code block. But, I use code spans much more often and a single backtick doesn’t work to trigger a code span. The only way to do that seems to be to right click with a mouse and select it. Very annoying for my writing process. Is there a way I am not seeing? Code this be added/fixed?</p> -
Hi @voycz,
Just so we’re on the same page, would you share the platform you are using the Day One app on? We have different shortcuts for each platform.
For example, on the Mac desktop app, you can use
` to enter a code block.</p> <p>We have a guide on keyboard shortcuts for iOS and macOS apps here: <a href=”https://dayoneapp.com/guides/tips-and-tutorials/keyboard-s”>https://dayoneapp.com/guides/tips-and-tutorials/keyboard-s</a></p> -
Hi, mostly on the Mac. Now I see what confused me. You see, in many other tools (if not most) that use markdown, you type the initial
(code), _ (italic) or * (bold), then you type some text and when you hit the matching closing character (, _ or *), it immediatelly converts the text to code, italic or bold. In Day One though, you have to inset an additional space and then the logic gets triggered and the text actually becomes formatted. I believe this is not optimal and should actually be made consistent with other software out there, but at least the way to do it is there. Just a little bit confusing, I thought it was unsupported. It would certainly be a more delightful experience if it worked exactly the same way as is the industry standard. Best, Voj
