What do you need help with?
I’m looking for a keyboard shortcut for selecting a whole (text) block when my cursor is inside it, but to my surprise I can’t find one. The list of shortcuts shows that triple-click and Control-click with the mouse both do the job, but I specifically want a keyboard shortcut.
I discovered that if I keep pressing Shift+up until the selection spans two blocks, I can then press Shift+down to shrink the selection to just the starting block - but this is an extremely poor workaround given that it may require many keypresses, especially if the block is many lines long.
In Notion, this shortcut is simply Esc. Am I being stupid or is this basic functionality missing from Anytype? I searched this forum but couldn’t find anything.
