How to select the part that user want to modify

There are two ways to select

• Click the part that user want
• Move to the desired part via the up and down arrow keys

The selection is made by the type of markdown (headers, BlockQuote, Ordered List, Unordered List, ...).

Type distinction

The editor divides the types into two main categories

• Single Block
  • What's inside a line or block
  • Plain Texts, Headers, …
• Multiblock
  • This is something that consists of multiple blocks together, occupies multiple lines, and forms part of a document
  • Ordered List. Unordered List, Block Quote, …

Modifying

• Only the selected part will be undone, and it will look like a markdown grammar
• If user select another block after the modification, user can view the rendered text with the modification reflected

Create new block

• Single block

  • Just need to press Enter once

  

• Multi block

  • Press Enter once to create an item, so press it once more in this state

  

Delete block

• Single block

  • Press the delete button while the content has been erased

  

• Multi block

  • To delete each item, delete the contents of the item and press the delete button
  • Clear all contents and press delete button to delete the entire block

  

Multi-block seperate

• When the format of the first or second line is destroyed

  • All lines are converted to single blocks.

• When other lines are destroyed

  • The corresponding line is converted into a single block
  • If there are more than two lines up or down, it is split into multi blocks

  

Single-block merge

• If there are consecutive single blocks, merge all those blocks into one multi block

Caret Position

• The location clicked before focus and the location after focus are the same
• Move the focus to the optimal caret position by considering the caret position even if you move the focus with the up and down key

⇒ User will not feel uncomfortable with the position of the caret

How to Save

If user move the tab to an existing .md file, close the tab, or terminate the project, the modifications are automatically applied to the .md file. =>User doesn't have to think about the storage at all!![How_to_open_Editor]
