Why?

  • Stop memorizing syntax — tables, mermaid diagrams, footnotes, badges… just pick from a menu.
  • Fewer typos — auto-generated syntax is always correct.
  • Faster writing — complex elements like tables and diagrams are inserted in seconds.

How to Use

Right-Click Context Menu

  1. Open any .md file in VS Code.
  2. Right-click in the editor.
  3. Hover over "Insert Markdown" to open the submenu.
  4. Pick the element you want (Bold, Table, Code Block, etc.).
  5. Fill in any prompts that appear — done.

Elements are organized into three groups in the submenu:

  • Inline — Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, Inline Code, Highlight, Link, Image, Inline Math, Superscript, Subscript, Emoji
  • Block — Heading, Unordered List, Ordered List, Task List, Blockquote, Horizontal Rule, Code Block, Table, Collapsible Section
  • Special — Footnote, Definition List, Math Block, Mermaid Diagram, Table of Contents, Badge

Keyboard Shortcut

Press Ctrl+I, Ctrl+N (while in a .md file) to open a quick-pick list of all elements.

Smart Behaviors

  • Selection wrapping — select text first, then insert Bold/Italic/Link etc. to wrap it automatically.
  • Snippet tab-stops — elements like Code Block and Blockquote place your cursor inside so you can start typing immediately.
  • Footnote placement — footnote definitions are automatically appended to the end of the document.
