Editor

A distraction-free writing environment with powerful tools.

Rich Text Formatting

The editor supports standard formatting via the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts:

  • Ctrl+B — Bold
  • Ctrl+I — Italic
  • Ctrl+U — Underline
  • Ctrl+Shift+S — Strikethrough
  • Ctrl+Shift+1/2/3 — Headings

Auto-Save

Your work saves automatically every 2 seconds. The status indicator at the bottom shows:

  • Saving... — Changes are being saved
  • Saved — All changes saved
  • Error — Save failed (will retry automatically)

Chapter Sidebar

The left sidebar shows your chapter and scene structure. Click any scene to navigate to it. Drag chapters to reorder them. Use the + button to add new chapters or scenes.

Focus Mode

Toggle focus mode from the toolbar to hide the sidebar and chrome. Options include:

  • Paragraph focus — Dims everything except the current paragraph
  • Sentence focus — Highlights only the current sentence
  • Typewriter mode — Keeps the cursor vertically centered

Find & Replace

Press Ctrl+F to open find, or Ctrl+H for find and replace. Supports case-sensitive and whole-word matching.

Word Count & Stats

Real-time word count is shown at the bottom of the editor. The project detail page shows aggregate stats across all chapters and scenes, including reading time estimates.
