Slash Commands

Type / in the editor to open a menu of everything you can insert. Keep typing to filter it, press ↑ and ↓ to choose and Enter to apply. Esc closes it, and the / stays as ordinary text.

Items answer to their names and to short aliases: h2 finds Heading 2. Resting on an item shows a preview of what it inserts.

The + button that appears beside a block when you hover it opens the same menu.

The menu doesn't open where Markdown isn't parsed, such as inside a code block or math.

What's in the menu

Group	Items
Text Format	Strong, Emphasis, Underline, Inline Code, Strikethrough, Superscript, Subscript, Highlight, Plain Text

Block	Heading 1–6, Paragraph, Blockquote, Bullet List, Numbered List, Task List, Table, Horizontal Rule, Page Break, Math Block, Code Fence, HTML Block, Link Reference, Footnote Definition, Table of Contents, YAML Front Matter
Code languages	Type a language after / to start a code block in it

Superscript, Subscript and Highlight write syntax that Typora reads only when it is turned on in Settings ▸ Markdown ▸ Syntax.

Snippets with their own trigger

Snippets appear in the / menu. To reach them with another character as well, set Trigger in Settings ▸ Shortcuts ▸ Typing, for example ;. Typing that character at the start of a word then opens just your snippets.
