Has the 'code block' formatting keystroke been removed in MacOS desktop?


Recommended Posts

The keystroke I usually use for formatting pasted (and selected) text as a code block seems to have been removed again. I'm using version 10.13.4. Can somebody please clarify what has happened to the code block formatting functionality?

That keystroke no longer works for me, and I can' find anything in the menus to format as a code block.

If you look in the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl + / (on Windows)) or help -> keyboard shortcuts you should find the shortcut for insert code block (ctrl + shift + L on Windows). If you highlight the text and then press the shortcut it formats the text as code. Should be the same for Mac but I obviously can't guarantee that.

EN Mac v10.14.7:

- Select your text you want to format as code

- click on the blue + button top left

- click on code block 

This will convert the selected text into code format. Shortcut is not working for conversion,  just to insert a new, empty code block.

In Windows at least placing a back tick character before and after some text and pressing space or enter will convert that into a code block as inline code. But it doesn't work across a paragraph break and quite possibly there are other limitations. But at least a single block of text could be converted after the event with the single back ticks.

Likewise three back ticks typed before any text starts a code block.
