When we launched collapsing capabilities a few months ago, you could collapse and expand headings, tables and views. Today, we’re expanding these capabilities to enable collapsible lists in Coda!
Some helpful things to know while you try out Collapsible Lists:
Like with collapsible headers, tables and views, content that has collapsing enabled will start collapsed when a new viewer opens a doc/section/page in a new environment (e.g. their browser will show all content collapsed, even if you have it open in yours)
To make a collapsible list, simply choose it from the formatting menu at the top of your doc; you’ll see it as an option beneath our other list types
Tip: You can also use the keyboard shortcut >> Space at the start of a new line to create a collapsible list.
You’ll know you’re working with a collapsible list when you see the collapsible “caret” icon instead of bullets, numbers or checkboxes
We hope you enjoy these additional options for streamlining and organizing your docs!
Now the only thing we need next is the ability to do this within a text field. Then to copy and paste it to, say, a google Doc and have it maintain the hierarchy. Right now it just goes to flat text.
Great! No more fussling with H1/H2/H3… Thank you once again, keep up the good work improving continuously!
Btw, the timing of this update is brilliant in my opinion, as some/many of us are playing with the nested sections and I believe they compliment each other perfectly.
What’s the regular keyboard shortcut (not markup) for this? I only see markup options. Tried these: Ctrl+Shift+Space, Ctrl+Dot, Ctrl+Shift+4,5,6
EDIT: Found it: Ctrl+Shift+6. Had to turn off that kb shortcut in CloudApp.
This isn’t getting any love in the keyboard shortcuts listing.
Sometimes the UI menus show markup shortcuts, and sometimes they show regular shortcuts. (See first screen cap, above.) Where’s the control to toggle between them and/or is there a setting to make it always show one or the other?
The only ways I know to reach the listing of keyboard shortcuts is via Ctrl+Shift+/ or /ke..., themselves both keyboard shortcuts. The learning curve for new users would benefit if this were visually accessible via an icon in the toolbar. (I thought there used to be one at one point?)
Hey thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you’re finding it useful.
Yes, you’re right that collapsible lists are currently disabled in table cells as well as comments. It’s something we’re looking into adding in the future, but for now we don’t support folding in table cells.
I have one issue using text in tables. In case the text is quite long, I would like to limit the lines displayed in a table row. I have addressed this long time ago. If you make this feature work in a table cell as well, I could use it as a work around.
Thank you once again, keep up the good work improving continuously!
