Keyboard & input rules

Keyboard shortcuts

An element's keyboard map binds shortcuts to the command that creates or toggles it. Mod is ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl elsewhere.

"hi": {
  "type": "inline",
  "keyboard": {
    "Cmd-b":  { "attributes": { "rend": "b" } },
    "Cmd-i":  { "attributes": { "rend": "i" } },
    "ctrl-b": { "attributes": { "rend": "b" } },
    "ctrl-i": { "attributes": { "rend": "i" } }
  }
}

Each binding may carry:

Property	Meaning
`attributes`	Attribute values applied when the shortcut fires.
`command`	An explicit command name (otherwise the element's default create/toggle command is used).

The defaults shipped with JinnTap are listed in Keyboard shortcuts.

Input rules

inputRules create elements from typed patterns, Markdown-style. They apply to block entries.

"div": {
  "type": "block",
  "inputRules": [
    { "find": "^>>", "type": "wrapping" }
  ]
}

Property	Meaning
`find`	A regular expression matched against the text being typed.
`type`	`wrapping` — wrap the block in this element; `textblock` — turn the current block into this element.

For example, typing >> at the start of a line wraps the current block in a div; heading rules turn #-prefixed lines into head elements.
