Formatting
Stet supports common text formatting through a selection toolbar, the menu bar, and keyboard shortcuts.
The selection toolbar
Select some text and a small floating toolbar appears above it. It carries text styles plus Stet's two annotation tools:
- Text styles — Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, Code
- Add comment — leave a comment on the selected passage for a collaborator (see Comments)
- Note to AI (✦) — attach an instruction for your AI agent (see AI Notes)
The toolbar hides itself when nothing is selected.
The menu bar
Block-level formatting lives in the Paragraph menu: headings, quotes, ordered and unordered lists, task lists, indenting, tables, code fences, and horizontal lines. Character formatting and links live in the Format menu.
Keyboard shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Cmd+B | Bold |
Cmd+I | Italic |
Cmd+E | Inline code |
Cmd+K | Link |
Cmd+1 to Cmd+3 | Heading 1 to 3 |
Cmd+0 | Paragraph |
Cmd+\ | Clear formatting |
The full list is in Keyboard Shortcuts.
Markdown shortcuts
You can also use markdown syntax as you type:
#at the start of a line → Heading 1##→ Heading 2###→ Heading 3-or*→ Bullet list1.→ Numbered list>→ Blockquote
The syntax converts to formatted text as soon as you press space.
Tables
Insert a table with Paragraph > Table. Tables start as 3 columns by 3 rows with a header row. Click into cells to edit them.
