Press the Escape key to enter outline editing
Press the Escape key again to exit outline editing mode
Or Click to make a selection with your mouse to exit outline editing mode
Or press Return to create a new item and exit outline editing mode.
...lots of ways out, use the Escape to enter!
In Outline Editing mode the arrow keys have different behavior:
Left Key
Collapse expanded rows
Right Key
Expand collapsed rows
Up Key
Move up by row
Down Key
Move down by row
Space Key
Toggle rows done status
Outline > Duplicate (Command-Shift-D)
Outline > Delete (Command-Shift-K)
Outline > Indent (Control-Command-Right)
Outline > Outdent (Control-Command-Left)
Outline > Move Up (Control-Command-Up)
Outline > Move Down (Control-Command-Down)
Give it a try. Create a small outline and then try the above commands. First in text editing mode, second in outline editing mode. You'll soon see and understand the differences. Outline Editing mode can save a lot of time.
Some command work the same in both modes:
Outline > New Row (Command-Return)
Insert a new row
Outline > Sort Rows
Sort top level selected rows, or if only a single row is selected then sorts children of that row.
Outline > Group (Option-Command-G)
Inserts a new row above the selection. And then moves the selection into that new row.
Outline > Move to Heading... (Command-\)
Move selected rows to choosen heading row.
The row commands described in the section work differently too. They work on a row and all contained rows, not just individual rows. Movements are also restricted to the outline structure.
