Slash Menu

Craft’s slash menu helps you add, format, and organize document content without leaving the keyboard. Type / while editing a document, then start typing the name of what you want to do.

​

Adding Content

Click in an empty area and start typing. To insert content at a specific location, drag and drop it into your document on macOS, or use the insert controls available on your platform. When a block is focused, press the Space bar to insert a new block below it.

​

The Slash Menu

Type / while writing to open the quick menu. You can use it to find commands such as:

• Text and block styles: Title, Subtitle, Heading, Body, Page, Card, Focus, and Block
• Lists and tasks: Todo, Toggle, Bullet List, Numbered List, task schedules, and deadlines
• Insert options: Tables, files, images, separators, page breaks, code blocks, formulas, Mermaid diagrams, and whiteboards
• Dates and reminders: Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday, Now, and reminder options
• Collections: Table, Gallery, and Kanban Collections
• AI Assistant: access AI actions from the editor

The menu is context-aware, so the options can change depending on whether you’re editing text, working in a table, selecting blocks, or using a specific platform.
