Editor tools
The editor carries a set of tools that stay invisible until you reach for them. All of them work entirely on your machine.
Find, and find & replace
Section titled “Find, and find & replace”- ⌘ F — find in the current Scene.
- ⌘ ⇧ H — find & replace.
For searching across the whole library, use the Command Palette — full text, every Scene, Entity, and Tome Note.
Proofreader
Section titled “Proofreader”The proofreader checks spelling and grammar as you write — locally, in the app’s Rust core. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. Suggestions surface inline; take them or leave them.
Readability
Section titled “Readability”The Readability panel gives a style snapshot of the current Scene — reading-ease and grade-level scores, with highlighting to show where the dense passages sit. It’s a diagnostic, not a verdict: literary prose is allowed to be dense. Use it when a scene feels sludgy and you want to see why.
Citations and footnotes
Section titled “Citations and footnotes”Writing anything with sources — historical fiction with an author’s note, memoir, non-fiction — the editor supports citations and footnotes as first-class marks. Insert them from the Command Palette; they travel with the text and survive compilation.
Split panes
Section titled “Split panes”Put two Scenes side by side — or a Scene and the Entity it leans on. Split the editor from the Command Palette (Split pane). Each pane scrolls and saves independently.
Focus and typewriter
Section titled “Focus and typewriter”- Focus mode (⌘ ↵) dims everything but the prose and centres it at a comfortable measure.
- Typewriter mode keeps the line you’re typing vertically anchored, so your eyes never chase the cursor down the screen.
Both toggle per-editor and remember your choice in Settings → Editor.
Source view
Section titled “Source view”The editor writes Markdown; the source view shows it raw. Useful for checking exactly what’s on disk, or pasting Markdown in from elsewhere.
