Longform writing in Logseq

I wasn’t clear, sorry. I was thinking more of an enhancement/alternative of that ability. To have shift+enter put us into “note mode” (if we want it to). Or maybe alt+enter would take us into “note mode”. Something different.

In logseq, it’s beautiful today that shift+enter is newline inside the same bullet item, and enter closes that item and takes us to the next one, that’s great and good for formatting that bullet item with intentional line length

In workflowy, shift+enter adds a note entity to the bullet item, which is a whole different thing entirely. It’s kind of confused me multiple times because it’s difficult to get out of that note item and back to the outline, but I appreciate the possibilities here as well. I would love for logseq to take the good/possible and leave out the bad/confusing.

Now that I’m thinking about it more:

  • I love the way logseq is now for the casual need to format the bullet item with intentional newline, shift+enter is perfect as is
  • I’d like to have “note mode” activated perhaps by alt+enter or some other key combo. “Note mode” would let us create non-outline typical markdown content that is contained within it’s parent. Kind of a code-fence with plain markdown content
