Personalizing text editor

Customize some common editor defaults to get a personalized editing experience.

Default font size and font family

The default font size and font family for all notes in the notes editor can be configured from Settings > Customization > Editor.

::: info Custom fonts are not supported yet.

:::

Line height

{{lineHeight}} sets how much vertical space each line of text takes in the editor. The default is 1.2 and you can set anything between 1 and 10.

Go to {{settings}} > {{customization}} > {{editor}} and set {{lineHeight}}.

Font ligatures <PlanTag plan="pro" note="Web/desktop only" />

{{fontLigatures}} replaces common character sequences with a single symbol as you type — -> becomes →, <- becomes ←, <= becomes ≤, >= becomes ≥, != becomes ≠, ==> becomes ⟹, <== becomes ⟸ and -- becomes an em dash.

Go to {{settings}} > {{customization}} > {{editor}} and turn on {{fontLigatures}}.

Font ligatures require a Pro plan. See Plans & limits.

Default note title format in rich text editor

When you create a note in the text editor, a default title Note $date$ $time$ is automatically set. You can change the default title format to better fit your needs.

Go to {{settings}} > {{customization}} > {{editor}} > {{titleFormat}} to customize the title formatting.

Supported formatting templates

$date$: Today's date

$day$: Today's day name

$time$: The current time

$count$: Current note count + 1

$timestamp$: Full date & time without any spaces or symbols (e.g. 202305261253)

$timestampz$: UTC offset added to timestamp

You can use a combination of above templates in the note title. For example Note $count$ - $date$ will become Note 150 - 06-22-2023.

$headline$: Up to first 60 characters of the note's first paragraph or heading. This will keep updating the title as headline of the note changes until you manually edit the title. This shouldn't be used in combination with other templates.

Paragraph spacing

By default when you press enter on a line in the text editor, a new paragraph is created with double spacing. You can go to {{settings}} > {{customization}} > {{editor}} to turn off {{doubleSpacedLines}}.
