Responding to my own request! I found this brilliant custom theme that shows clearly how to implement this and many other nifty tricks: https://github.com/jgclark/NP-themes/blob/master/Toothpaste%…
Yeah, it's the headings. I did work out how to hide the hashes using a custom theme, which is working well for me now. I never type markdown characters (always use shortcuts), so that works for me.
But I see headings and other things are handled differently
Thanks for sharing, I see what you mean. You refer specifically to headings when you say shifting? Because in Bear it's shifting with bold and italic too:
I noticed that H4 level headings have the #### prefix hidden until the caret is at the start of the line. It'd be a good option for other heading levels also. I'll look into theming docs to see if I can hide the others.
A lot of markdown characters can be hidden by theming -- nearly all, afaik, other than a few of those around links (eg, the box-arrow). Take a look at the help docs for a start
I have been trying to hide the ugly double brackets of wikilinks via custom theme, but unable to do so. Does anyone have any insights on this?
