Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts speed up your work dramatically — your hands never leave the keyboard, and text practically flows. Here is the full list for the LiveAI editor.

macOS

On macOS, use ⌘ (Cmd) instead of Ctrl, and ⌥ (Option) instead of Alt.

Markdown syntax

In addition to keyboard shortcuts, the editor recognizes Markdown as you type:

No need to memorize everything

Start with five shortcuts: Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, Ctrl+1, Ctrl+Z, and Tab. That covers 90% of your needs. The rest will stick naturally as you use the editor.

That was the last section about the editor. Next up is the most exciting part: the AI assistant, which transforms LiveAI from a great editor into a smart writing partner.
