Formatting Notes in Zotero Ap: More like what's in Web UI?
Hello,
I am really liking the notes functionality - thanks for all the work that's gone into that. Especially to be able to write while reading, and to drag in quotes!
One wish I have is for additional formatting options in the Windows Zotero ap. I see that there are more settings if I am working on the Web. Any chance of providing that formatting functionality in the AP?
In particular, I would like the Indent/Outdent, Alignment options, and additional heading levels.
I also really like the two levels of formatting options at the top of the note, in the web version.
Thanks in advance.

Specifically about the things you're asking:
- Indent outdent you can do with tab/shift+tab
- If you do need Headings beyond H1-H3, you can use Markdown syntax (which is generally supported, i.e. #### Heading 4, ##### Heading 5, etc.
No option for alignment though.
Happy to know about the tab/shift+tab for indents! Very helpful.
I don't know Markdown (yet), but will experiment, for headings.
For me, alignment is far less crucial.
I understand about the move to new editors.
If there is a way to provide an expanded view of the formatting controls, I would find that helpful. I do know about the keyboard shortcuts for the main ones (B,I,U). But touching a button is still sometimes easier, and it helpful to be able to have a visual indicator of what is already "on."

I discover just now that I can enter attached notes using some markdown *on the fly*.
I am a great markdown user (thousands markdown notes on many topics shared between my computer and my phone. I have written a little style to insert citations and bibliography in markdown into my notes).
But it seems that I can't paste markdown in the note and have a good result...
