Write mode is the drafting canvas. It is a full markdown editor where you type, edit, and refine your piece. AI stays out of the way unless you press Tab to accept a completion, and the document column resizes to match how you like to read and write.

The editor

The Write editor supports standard markdown formatting: headings, bold, italic, lists, blockquotes, and code blocks. You can use keyboard shortcuts or the inline formatting toolbar that appears when you select text. Your document title is derived automatically from the first heading in the editor.

Tab inline completions

When AI Tab completions are enabled, Dear extends your current sentence or paragraph when you press Tab. The suggestion is generated from the text you have already written — it does not open a chat or replace your cursor with a generated block.
Tab completions respect your AI writing settings, including voice blend and guardrails. See the AI settings documentation for details on configuring suggestion behavior.
To accept a completion, press Tab. To ignore it, keep typing — the suggestion disappears.

Adjusting document width

The text column width defaults to 800 px. To change it, open the doc width toolbar from the Write toolbar and drag the slider. The slider snaps to preset widths designed for common use cases:
PresetWidth
Narrow focus480 px
Quick notes560 px
Comfortable read640 px
Compact document720 px
Standard draft800 px
Blog column896 px
Long-form article960 px
Wide layout1024 px
Slides / deck1200 px
You can also type a pixel value directly into the width field. The minimum width is 400 px; the maximum is constrained by your viewport. Your width preference is saved locally and persists between sessions.

Switching back to Outline

Select the Outline tab in the top toolbar to return to your index cards. Everything in the editor is preserved while you work in Outline, and vice versa.

Focus mode

To remove UI chrome while drafting, turn on focus mode with the layout toggle in the top toolbar. See Focus mode for details.
