Lists

There are three types of lists supported by text notes:

• Bulleted lists (also known as unordered lists).
• Numbered lists (or ordered lists).
• To-do lists

For bulleted and numbered lists, it's possible to configure an alternative marker such as squares or Roman numbering by pressing the icon. For numbered lists, it's also possible to specify the number to start at or whether to count in reverse order.

Keyboard interaction#

• To create a new list:
  • Bulleted list: Start a line with * or - followed by a space;
  • Numbered list: Start a line with 1. or 1) followed by a space;
  • To-do list: Start a line with - [ ] for an unchecked item or [x] for a checked item.
• To create a new item in the list, press Enter.
• To create a blank line within a list item, press Shift+Enter.
• To exit out of the list, press Enter twice.
• To merge two lists, simply delete the gap between them.
• To create nested lists, simply use the button (see Indentation in Other features) or the Tab key. To decrease the nesting level for the current element, press Shift+Tab.

Headings, code blocks within lists#

It possible to add content-level blocks such as headings, code blocks, tables within lists, as follows:

1		First, create a list.
2		Press Enter to create a new list item.
3		Press Backspace to get rid of the bullet point. Notice the cursor position.
4		At this point, insert any desired block-level item such as a code block.
5		To continue with a new bullet point, press Enter until the cursor moves to a new blank position.
6		Press Enter once more to create the new bullet.

The same principle applies to all three list types (bullet, numbered and to-do).

To-do lists#

• To insert a to-do list from the keyboard, type - [ ] for an unchecked item or [x] for a checked item while on an empty paragraph.
• To reorder the item under the cursor, press Alt+Up or Alt+Down. To reorder multiple items, select them first.
