Keyboard Shortcuts

On macOS, Cmd is the modifier. On Windows/Linux, use Ctrl. All shortcuts work in both split and editor-only modes.

General

`Cmd+S`	Save document
`Cmd+Shift+P`	Toggle preview
`Cmd+\`	Toggle split view
`Cmd+Shift+F`	Immersive mode
`Cmd+Shift+E`	Focus sidebar
`Esc`	Exit overlay / immersive

Vim mode

Enable vim keybindings from the command palette (Cmd+P → type "vim"). Standard vim motions, operators, and text objects are supported via CodeMirror's vim extension.

Vim mode persists across sessions. Disable it the same way — open the command palette and toggle it off.

Customization

Keyboard shortcuts are built into the editor and currently can't be remapped. If you need a specific binding, email hello@markdown.ing.
