Markdown help dialog
It would be nice if there was a simple help dialog for markdown.
I might implement this by detecting "/" as the first character of a line, similar to the way you use something like Notion. Because people are likely to enter source code into Nolific that might not be the best option (comments start with /* in many languages). Maybe capturing a typical help key like F1 would be more appropriate.
Consider using the Mac Help menu for inspiration. It's basically a list with a search box on the top. Typing into the search box reduces the list to matching terms. Clicking on a matching term would then insert the appropriate code.
Looks like ⌘ + / and Ctrl + / are the main keys for most web apps on Mac and Windows respectively.
Because I want to keep Nolific as simple as possible I might want to put this help feature into an add-on. Some users might not use Nolific for Markdown and for those users it wouldn't be a useful feature.
Hi @codazoda
Why you dont try something like this for the editor/markdown

I’m a big fan of minimalist tools for their fast load times and quick responsiveness, especially on lower end phones or with limited internet connections. Nolific is built in that spirit.
For that reason, I don’t think this tool would be appropriate. It is a cool project though!
