An overview of writing in Myne: how the editor's view modes, focus mode, folding, multiple cursors, find and replace, slash commands, comments, spell check, display settings, note covers, the selection toolbar, saved views, and note export fit together, with a link to each.

Most of your time in Myne is spent in the editor, writing. This section covers the tools around the text: switching between Live preview, Reading, and Source view, focus mode for one paragraph at a time, folding long notes, editing with multiple cursors, find and replace, slash commands for quick inserts, comments alongside the text, spell check, the display settings that shape how the editor looks, the toolbar that appears over a selection, saved views that filter your notes into a slice you can return to, and exporting a note to a plain file. Each one has its own article below.

What’s in this section

  • View modes: switching between Live preview, Reading, and Source view, and what each shows.
  • Focus mode: dimming everything but the line or paragraph you are writing.
  • Folding: collapsing headings and lists to move through a long note.
  • Multiple cursors: editing several places at once.
  • Find and replace: searching within the current note and swapping text.
  • Slash commands: inserting structure by typing a slash.
  • Comments: notes to yourself alongside the text.
  • Document statistics: word and character counts for the note, with a tooltip breakdown.
  • Editor display: line width, font, date and time formatting, and the other settings that shape the writing surface.
  • Note covers: giving a note an image across the top, where it appears, and where it deliberately does not.
  • Selection toolbar: the formatting buttons that appear over selected text, and choosing which ones show.
  • Vim mode: an optional modal-editing keymap for the editor, off by default and behind Developer mode.
  • Spell check: catching typos as you type.
  • Saved views: a filtered, read-only slice of your notes you can return to from the sidebar, shown as cards, a table, or a list. Off by default.
  • Exporting notes: writing a single note or your whole vault out to plain files.

Sketching inside a note is covered in Drawings, because a drawing is a note of its own.
