Documentation Language
Frequently in VoodooPad documentation keyboard shortcuts and menu items that perform actions will be mentioned.
Menu Items
Menu items are the items along the top bar of your screen. To make it easier to communicate steps in a process, menu items will be listed in the order that they should be selected. For example, in order to make something italic you will need to select it, and then click on the Format menu at the top of the screen. Hover over the Font menu item and then go to the right to select the Italic option. From now on that will be truncated to Format ▸ Font ▸ Italic.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are a huge timesaver, and they will sink into muscle memory before you know it. For example, if you find yourself making a lot of things italic, try using the shortcut. If you are not sure what the shortcut is for an action, it will be listed next to the menu item. The image below is how the Font menu appears. You can see Italic is selected, and the shortcut ⌘I is written to the right of it.
Shortcuts will be abbreviated as follows:
Command or ⌘ – Cmd
Control or ^ – Cntrl
Option or ⌥ – Opt
Shift or ⇧ – Shft
Holding Command and Option simultaneously while pressing K will be abbreviated ⌘⌥K.
