Other features

Indentation#

Paragraphs can be indented to the right using the  button from the Formatting toolbar.

• Press to increase the indentation of the current paragraph by one. Can be pressed multiple times if needed.
• Press to decrease the indentation of a current paragraph. The button will be disabled if it is already at the minimum indentation level.
• For convenience, keyboard shortcuts are also available. Press Tab to indent or Shift+Tab to decrease the indentation. These shortcuts work even if the cursor is not at the beginning of a paragraph or a list.
• Apart from paragraphs, the indent button is also enabled in Lists, where it can be used to create nested lists.

Markdown import#

If the clipboard contains Markdown text, it can be easily imported into text notes. Simply copy a Markdown-formatted text and press the to insert its visual representation.

Note that this only works with raw Markdown (e.g. # Heading 1 to generate a heading) and not the visual representation of the Markdown (e.g. as in the preview pane of an application). In that case, simply use the paste function which already accepts HTML-formatted content.

This is mostly useful for snippets of text, for entire Markdown documents use the dedicated Markdown import/export function.

If accessing Trilium with a web browser, the Markdown import action will ask for the content to be inserted into a dedicated screen since it does not have access to the clipboard.

Cut to subnote#

The button will create a child note with the selected text. For more information, see Cut to subnote.

Find and replace#

The button will open the editor's dedicated search and replace functionality.

Alternatively, the Ctrl+F combination can be pressed to show the dialog.
