Text formatting
Formatting in LiveAI works just as you'd expect — much like any text editor, only faster. Select text and apply a style using a button, a keyboard shortcut, or Markdown syntax.
Basic styles
Use ⌘ (Cmd) instead of Ctrl. The rest of the keys are the same.
Text color
Want to highlight a word or phrase with color? Select the text and choose a color from the toolbar. The color palette is designed to keep text readable in both light and dark themes.
Text color is useful for:
- Visually separating categories
- Highlighting key terms
- Marking up text during editing (e.g., red for "needs rewriting")
Highlighter (background color)
Works like a physical highlighter on paper — it gives text a colored background. Several highlighter colors are available. Select the text and press Ctrl+Shift+H or choose a highlighter color from the toolbar.
Try using colors systematically. For example: yellow highlighter for important items, green for done, red for needs revision. This will be especially handy for collaborative work (coming soon).
Font size
For those cases when a heading is too much, but regular text is too little. Change the font size for any text fragment through the toolbar.
Clear formatting
Has your text turned into a "colorful carnival"? Select it and press Ctrl+Shift+N — all styles will be removed, leaving plain text. Very useful when pasting text from other applications.
Combining styles
Styles can be combined. Text can be bold, italic, and underlined at the same time — if you really need it. But remember: less formatting means easier reading.
