Source view

Press ⌘/ to see the open note as raw Markdown, with line numbers, across the full width. Press ⌘/ again to go back. It is also View → Toggle source view, or the Markdown chip after the note’s name in the title bar.

Both views edit the same file with the same undo history. Switching never changes the file.

  • Seeing every mark at once, whatever Settings → Editor → Markdown marks is set to.
  • Editing attributes such as {width=60%} on an image.
  • Fixing a table or a fence the live view makes hard to reach.
  • The mode belongs to the note and lasts until you close it. It isn’t saved.
  • Zoom (⌘=, ⌘-, ⌘0) scales it like body text.
  • Sections fold with ⌘., as in the live view.
  • If you rebind ⌘/, the new key does the same. See Shortcuts and rebinding.
