Absolutely!

It’s near the top of the to-do list (it’s a long list, but I’m working hard on it).

The next update will unhide the main menu for non-mac folks by default (option to re-hide it will be in preferences), which will help show some of the available key commands.

For right now, you can show the menu by pressing alt.

Beyond that, I’m working on a user manual / documentation which will help too.

Here are some of the things that are not very obvious in the UI currently:

• Preference button is the gear in the lower left corner of the screen
• Double click on the “Tags”, “Categories” and “Folders” headings in the left-most panel to collapse and expand them
• You can right click on folders in the folder list to show a context menu. Use this to open your folder in your system’s file manager, or remove top-level folders from your folder list.
• Right click files in the file list to show a menu where you can show the file in your system’s file manager, duplicate the file, revert it to the last saved version, or delete it.
• Double click on the main “Filters”, “All Files” (heading name changes), and “Outline” at the top of the panels to collapse and expand them
• The 3 vertical sections can be resized by clicking and dragging the dividers between them
• In distraction-free mode, pressing escape twice quickly will exit distraction free
• Preferences can be closed by pressing escape
• Right-click misspelled words (if they have the misspelling highlight) to select a spelling suggestion or add to your dictionary
• If you want to remove a word previously added to the dictionary, select it in the editor and choose “Remove from dictionary”.

In the editor

If you’re using the sublime key bindings (the default, and you’d definitely know if you weren’t :D):

• Ctrl+Click: Add another cursor at this location (multiple cursor support)
• Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down: Add another cursor above or below the current location
• Ctrl+T: Transpose characters
• Alt+Left/Right: Move cursor one word
• Ctrl+Up/Down: Scroll editor up and down
• Ctrl+L: Select the current line
• Ctrl+Shift+L: Convert the current multiline selection to multiple selections, with their own cursors
• Escape: If you have multiple selections, drop all except the first one
• Ctrl+Enter: Insert a line after the current line, and jump to that line
• Ctrl+Shift+Enter: Insert a line before the current line, and jump to that line
• Ctrl+D: With text selected, also select the next occurrence of that text
• Ctrl+F3: With text selected, find next occurrence of that text
• Ctrl+Shift+F3: With text selected, find previous occurrence of that text
• Ctrl+Shift+M: Selects text between brackets, or select all. Mostly applies to code in code blocks not markdown though
• Ctrl+Shift+Space: Selects text between brackets (as above), or selects all if it can’t find appropriate brackets
• Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down: Swap the current line with the one above or below it
• Ctrl+J: Combine selected lines into one line (unwraps lines)
• Ctrl+Shift+D: Duplicate the current line
• F9: Sort the selected lines
• Ctrl+F9: Sort the selected lines (case-insensitive)
• Ctrl+Shift+K: Delete the current line
• Ctrl+K Ctrl+K: Delete to the end of the line
• Ctrl+K Ctrl+Backspace: Delete to the beginning of the line
• Ctrl+K Ctrl+U: Make current word uppercase
• Ctrl+K Ctrl+L: Make current word downcase
• Ctrl+K Ctrl+C: Scroll current line to center of editor
• Ctrl+F: Find text
• Ctrl+H: Replace text

There are some additional commands that are implemented but don’t give any visual indication (bookmarked lines, marked locations). I’ll add those to the (as yet uncreated) documentation when they’re implemented properly.

Hey there! Just bought Deepdown, it's sick. I love it. How do we use tags? How do we use categories?
