right on both.

Suggestions
/ Open the block menu, where one is wired up
↑ ↓ Move through it
Enter or Tab Take the highlighted entry
Escape Close it and keep what was typed
Completion

Escape Dismiss it
Editing
Mod-Z Undo
Mod-Shift-Z Redo
Mod-Y Redo, for Windows hands
Shift-Enter Line break inside a block
Only Escape in that last group is bound by the extension. The rest is the host's,
because the suggestion extension detects the trigger and renders nothing — the menu, and therefore
what its arrow keys mean, is yours. The one on this site is about a hundred lines; there is a
working copy in Recipes.
Input rules
Typed rather than pressed. Each one is a single undo step, so a wrong guess costs one Mod-Z.
# Heading one. Two hashes for a level two, and so on to six.
- Bulleted list. A plus or an asterisk works too.
1. Ordered list, starting at that number.
[] Task list. Use [x] for one already done.
" Curls, and knows which way · typography extension.
don't The apostrophe closes rather than opens.
-- An em dash.
... An ellipsis.
-> An arrow. Also <-, (c), (tm), +/-.
{{name}} A template field · field extension.
#word A hashtag node · hashtag extension.
$x^2$ An inline formula. $$…$$ on a line of its own for display · math extensions.
sig Whatever the application declared · snippets extension.
:tada: An emoji · emoji extension.
https://… A link · autolink extension.
Binding your own
const spoiler: MarkDef<{ toggleSpoiler: Command }> = {
kind: 'mark',
name: 'spoiler',
commands: { toggleSpoiler: (ctx) => ctx.toggleMark('spoiler') },
keys: { 'Mod-Shift-S': 'toggleSpoiler' },
}A key can name a command or be a function. Later extensions win a conflict, so ordering the array is how you override a built-in binding.
