Code blocks

Pasting code from Visual Studio Code using Firefox or Safari is not supported, as those browsers do not allow access to the Mime Type that we use from VS Code to determine the type of code sample that it is. Code samples pasted will be displayed as inline code. A workaround is to add a code editor and paste into the editor directly.

Selection

It is not possible to create partial selections across blocks, e.g. select all paragraph content in one block then the sentence of a subsequent paragraph. Multi block selection will always encompass the entire block.

Lists

  • When you attempt to toggle lists in Safari using the CMD-L keyboard shortcut the address bar is focussed rather than changing the list type. As a workaround use CTRL-L.
  • It is not currently possible to insert images as part of a list item.

Tables

  • In Safari the insert new column or row keyboard shortcut CMD+ALT+= results in the browser window being zoomed rather than a row or column being added.
  • When copy and pasting a table from Confluence in Firefox the column headers are not correctly pasted into the Canvas. However if you copy the Confluence table from Safari or Chrome into a Canvas in Firefox then the table headers are pasted correctly. This is due to the MIME type information not being available in Firefox.
  • Tables pasted from Notion with header rows and columns will require manual formatting.
  • Header cell table alignment is not currently supported by Canvas tables. Tables with alignment in markdown will be pasted left aligned.

Links

Links are only supported on text selections. You cannot create links on images.

Performance

The Canvas does not have a word count limitation but performs well up to around 30k words.
