Slash commands

Type / in a note to insert any block: headings, lists, callouts, columns, tables, images, sub-pages, databases. Every command, by category.

Documentation sections

Type / anywhere in a note and a menu opens with every block the editor can insert. Keep typing to filter it, then press Enter. It is the fastest way to add a callout, a table or a sub-page without leaving the keyboard.

Use the menu

  1. Type / in the text. It works at the start of a line and in the middle of one.
  2. Browse the categories on the left, or type a few letters to filter.
  3. Press Enter, or click the command.

The letters you type match the name of the command, its description and a few other words. call, for example, shows every callout.

Keys in the menu:

  • and move through the commands;
  • and change category while you are not filtering, and Tab or Shift+Tab change it at any time;
  • Enter inserts the command;
  • Esc closes the menu.

Recently used keeps the last 8 commands you used, at the top. If nothing matches, the menu says No matching commands. If a command cannot go where your cursor is, Filarr tells you This command is not available here and puts back what you typed.

The tables below list every command. The last column gives other words that find it: some are French, and they work whatever your language.
