Working with text in Setka Editor
In Setka Editor, the text is divided into paragraphs. Rather than working with single lines of text, formatting is applied to the whole paragraph. To change several paragraphs at the same time, hold CMD or CTRL and click on desired paragraphs to select multiple. Changes made will be applied to these paragraphs.
SHIFT+ENTER shortcut creates a new line in the same paragraph. This can be more convenient when you type an article directly in the Editor. When inserting large pieces of text, the Editor will break it up into paragraphs.
How to format text?
Formatting and all keyboard shortcuts are applied to the whole paragraph.

These options are displayed in the Selection tab when some text is highlighted.

Why justified layout is not available?
As you can see, there is no justified alignment option. This type of alignment is not welcome in terms of typography for these particular reasons:
1. Visual mess inside a text block
There are plenty of text alignment tools in the press: hyphenation, word spacing, wide and narrow font options etc. Layouts with justified alignment look good only when it is made by hand by a professional typesetter. In the case of web pages, an uncontrolled increase in the width of spaces occurs.
2. Bad readability
Justified text is harder to read. The eye is constantly forced to seek out the beginning of the next word and rearrange perception from row to row due to different-sized spaces.
3. Incompatibility with mobile devices
Such layout directly contradicts the requirements of mobile devices, for which the shorter the line, the better.
How to adjust bottom indentations?

Is there a way to set different colors for individual words?

How to make scrolling to anchors smooth?
