Prose Editor
The Manuscript view (⌘3) opens a unified rich text editor showing all scenes in reading order. It's the primary writing environment in Proseweave.
The Editor
The editor is powered by TipTap (ProseMirror-based). It supports:
- Bold, Italic, headings, blockquotes, and bulleted/numbered lists
- Paste from Word or Google Docs (formatting is preserved)
- Auto-save on every keystroke (with a short debounce)
- Live word count per scene
Each scene renders as a distinct block separated by a header showing the scene title, word count, and status badge.
Auto-Save
Your content is saved automatically as you type. A subtle save indicator appears in the toolbar. You can also save manually with ⌘S.
Distraction-Free Mode
Press ⌘\ to hide the sidebar and expand the editor to full width. Press Esc to exit. This is ideal for focused writing sessions.
AI Toolbar
The AI toolbar appears above each scene's editor area. It contains:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
Continue Writing (⌘Enter) | Extend prose from the current cursor position |
| Rewrite Selection | Rewrite highlighted text with a custom instruction |
| Structured Rewrite | Full-scene rewrite using Remove/Add/Adjust/Keep criteria |
| Versions | Open the version history panel for this scene |
| ? | Open the Writing & AI help docs |
Version History
Every time you accept an AI rewrite, Proseweave saves a snapshot of the previous content. Open Versions in the toolbar to:
- Browse all snapshots with timestamps and word counts
- Preview any version
- Toggle Compare mode to see a side-by-side diff
- Revert to any previous version (current content is saved first)
Reverting is always safe — your current content becomes a new version before the revert is applied, so you can undo it if needed.
Consistency Badges
If the Consistency checker has found unresolved issues in a scene, a small amber badge appears next to the scene title in the Manuscript view. Click it to jump to the Consistency view filtered to that scene.
Find & Replace
Press ⌘H to open the in-scene Find & Replace panel. For project-wide search, use ⌘⇧H. See Find & Replace for full details.
