Drafts - macOS Window

The main Drafts window has three basic areas.

• Draft List (left pane) – Show/Hide: ⌘1
• Editor (middle pane)
  • Tag Entry (top of Editor) – Show: ⌘ T / Hide: ⇧ ⌘ T
  • Main content entry area (usually Markdown)
  • Action Bar (bottom of Editor) – Action group assigned to workspace
  • Editor Options (very bottom of Editor) – syntax, pin, info, versions, log, arrange, link, preferences, chars / words
• Action List (right pane) – Show/Hide: ⌘ 0

On macOS, Drafts also has an app window Toolbar, which you can toggle to show or hide with a hotkey ⌥ ⌘ T. It offers quick access to navigate & filter, create, dictate, flag, tag, or move drafts, as well as access a command palette, quick search, and preview.
