Moving Around Inside Blocks
Plenty of blocks hold more than one field, so they have their own keys for moving between them. Tab and Shift+Tab walk the fields in order and step you out of the block at either end, so you never lose your place.
Tabs
Keys | What It Does |
| Move from a tab's label into its panel, then on to the next tab |
| From a tab label, drop into that tab's panel |
| Add a new tab before or after the one you're in |
Steps
Keys | What It Does |
| Move between a step's title and body, then on to the next step |
| From a step title, drop into that step's body |
Decision Trees
Keys | What It Does |
| Walk a node's question, body, and each answer, then on to the next node |
| From a question, drop into that node's body. From an answer, add another answer and jump to it |
Cmd/Ctrl+A selects just the field you're in rather than the whole article.Tables
Keys | What It Does |
| Move to the next or previous cell. |
| Move down to the cell below. In the last row, leave the table and carry on in a paragraph after it |
| Add a new line inside the cell you're in |
| Insert a row below the one you're in and move into it |
| Insert a row above the one you're in and move into it |
Foldable Sections
Keys | What It Does |
| Move between the title and the body, then on to the next foldable section or out of the block |
| At the end of the title, move into the body. At the start of the body, go back to the title |
| Add another foldable section above or below this one |
| At the end of the body, start a new paragraph after the block |
| In a foldable section with an empty title and body, delete the block |
Bullet and Numbered Lists
Keys | What It Does |
| Indent or outdent the item, up to three levels deep. The first item in a list can't be indented |
| Start the next item. On an empty item, leave the list and carry on in a paragraph |
| Add a line inside the item you're in, without starting a new one |
Code Blocks
Keys | What It Does |
| Indent or outdent the current line, rather than leaving the block |
| Add a new line inside the code |
| Leave the block and start a paragraph after it |
| In an empty code block, turn it back into a normal paragraph |
