Links & special characters

Add a hyperlink, or insert a glyph that isn't on your keyboard.

Links

  1. Select the text to link (or place the cursor for a new one).
  2. Choose Insert ▸ Link (Ctrl+K / ⌘K), enter the address in Address, and click Insert. If no text is selected, type the words to show in Text.

Linked text renders in the link color with an underline. Hold Ctrl / ⌘ and click to open it. Links must be http, https, or mailto. To change or remove a link, put the cursor in it and choose Insert ▸ Link again; the dialog then has a Remove link button, and Save keeps your changes.

Special characters

Choose Insert ▸ Special Character (Ctrl+Shift+C / ⌘⇧C) to open the Special characters panel. Search by name or code point (such as U+00E9), or switch between Common and Browse, and click a glyph to insert it at the cursor. Point to a character to see its name and code point in the bar at the bottom. The panel stays open so you can insert several in a row; characters you've used appear under Recent. Close it with its ✕ button, Esc, or the same shortcut. In Review Mode, it's under Tools ▸ Special Character.

Common groups a curated set into six categories:
