In the ConvertKit email editor, there are shortcuts that can help you format and edit your emails.
This article has a breakdown of them all and will continue to update as new shortcuts are added!
Markdown Shortcuts
The new editor supports writing in markdown to keep your hands on the keyboard and allow a faster writing experience. Try these shortcuts:
# + Space: Heading 1
## + Space: Heading 2
### + Space: Heading 3
...and so on, through Heading 6
* or - + Space: Unordered List
1. + Space: Ordered List
> + Space: blockquote
--- + Space: horizontal rule
/ : opens the block menu (only at the beginning of a line)
