Settings — Editor
Tune the writing surface itself: colors, the Enter-key behavior, and any custom CSS overrides for power users.
Editor colors
Two color knobs apply on top of the active theme:
- Text Color — the foreground color of body text in the editor
- Background Color — the editor canvas color
Leave both unset to inherit from the active theme. Override either one to fine-tune contrast or build a personal palette without forking a whole theme.
Enter key behavior
Two modes:
- Normal — Enter inserts a single line break (a soft return, no paragraph).
- Paragraph — Enter creates a new paragraph; Shift Enter inserts a single line break.
Pick the model that matches your mental Markdown convention. Most users coming from Apple Notes or Word prefer Paragraph; coding-flavored writers often pick Normal.
Customize Styles
For deeper visual customization, write a CSS snippet that's injected into the editor. Common uses:
- Adjust line-height or paragraph spacing
- Change heading sizes or weights
- Restyle code blocks or inline code
- Add subtle background gradients to callouts
/* Example: tighter paragraphs, larger H1 */
.editor p { line-height: 1.55; margin-bottom: 12px; }
.editor h1 { font-size: 2.4em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; }
.editor code { background: rgba(124, 109, 240, 0.12); color: var(--accent); }
Caveat: custom CSS is not theme-aware unless you reference theme variables. If you switch theme later, your overrides may look off — keep snippets minimal and use
var(--*) tokens where possible.
