Typed Text not showing

[Justin_Knepper]

I am brand new to coda, and I am having issues with just “typing text” onto a page. I will start typing and the “/” will try to superimpose on the text. And even if I finish typing a word or sentence, then hit Return (I am on a Mac, using a wireless Mac Keyboard), the word/sentence just disappears, and the cursor just moves down to the next line. Am I missing something here? Issue with Coda for Mac???

This error is in Chrome browser, but when I am in Safari, it does not have this error. Is Coda not compatible with Chrome??

Hi @Justin_Knepper and Welcome to the Community !

I’ve been using Coda on a Mac and Chrome since 2019 and never encountered such troubles … This is just to tell you that Coda is compatible with Chrome and Mac .

I tested with a Magic Keyboard too (just in case ) but I can’t reproduce the problem you’re describing …

I don’t have a Mac M1 though, so I can’t push my tests further (as this could also potentially be a Chrome issue)

I would recommend you to contact Coda’s Support directly (through Intercom… by clicking on the big bold question mark (?) you should find at the bottom right of your screen when you’re in a doc )

---

Edit : Note that in Coda there’s indeed a /Slash Command menu, which will appear each time you type / on the canvas and it will allow you to create content directly from the menu :

Example
Typing /table + Enter will open the menu to create a table.

As the/Slash Command is automatically triggered by typing / and if the Command (what follows the /) is not recognise by Coda and you hit Enter, the menu will simply disappear .

Example : If you type /random sentence here + Enter… The whole thing will disappear (but during my tests, it also opens the right panel Explore)

There’s no way to prevent the /Slash Command menu to open when using the / in a sentence, but it can be closed (before typing anything else) by hitting Esc

Did you, by any chance @Justin_Knepper used / in your sentence and maybe didn’t see the /Slash Command menu ?

THANK YOU for the quick feedback. Good to know that it should be working (I also have Magic Keyboard), so I will contact the Intercom for further assistance. And I had not used the “/” in my sentence so it is really wierd that it is doing this on me. Hopefully I can get this resolved soon as I would like to see if this is the program to help organize me in 2022.
