Editor and Sidebar

Document-centric editor

The document-centric editor is the primary surface for deeply editing a note's content or a Jira work item. It replaces scrolling through a cluttered canvas for focused reading and writing.

Why it exists

Canvas cards are great for spatial organisation, but they are limited for:

Long-form content
Structured editing (headings, task lists, code blocks)
Inline AI enhancements
Copy/paste and formatting operations

Editor modes

Mode	Description
Rich editor (WYSIWYG)	TipTap-based editor over Markdown. Default mode for notes and Jira items.
Plain Markdown	Auto-resizing textarea for raw Markdown editing. Keyboard shortcuts: `Tab` (indent), `Ctrl+B` (bold), `Ctrl+I` (italic), `Ctrl+K` (link).

The editor area has two tabs:
