App Menu

zudotext has a standard macOS application menu bar, available whenever the app has focus (ROOT and every generated LEAF app alike). Most of it is what you'd expect from any Mac app — this page covers the parts specific to zudotext.

App

Settings… opens the same Settings dialog as the toolbar gear icon and the command palette. Below that are the standard macOS Services/Hide/Hide Others/Show All items and Quit.

File

New Note — starts a new draft, same as the toolbar or command palette.
New Window (Cmd+Shift+N) — opens an additional main window. This is deliberately not the more familiar Cmd+N, which is reserved for New Note's own shortcut inside the app.
Print
Close Window

Edit

Standard Undo/Redo/Cut/Copy/Paste/Select All, plus Paste and Match Style (strips formatting on paste), and Format Markdown — runs the same markdown formatter as the command palette command.

View

Show Workspace Switcher — a checkable item that shows or hides the workspace switcher rail. Only present in ROOT (a LEAF has nothing to switch between). The checkmark tracks your per-device preference, not whether the rail happens to be hidden by zen mode or a small window — see "Show Workspace Switcher" and "Show Global Header" below.
Show Global Header — a checkable item that shows or hides the toolbar (the same "zen mode" toggle available from the command palette).
Toggle Editor/Preview, Command Palette…
Reload / Force Reload, Toggle Developer Tools (Alt+Cmd+I)
Actual Size / Zoom In / Zoom Out — display scale, via Cmd+0 / Cmd+= / Cmd+-
Toggle Full Screen

Show Workspace Switcher and Show Global Header stay in sync with the app

Both check items mirror a preference you can also flip from the command palette (Show/Hide/Toggle workspace switcher, Toggle Global Header) — flipping one flips the other, from either direction. The checkmark reflects your stored preference, not the rail or header's momentary visibility: if zen mode (via Show Global Header) hides the header, the workspace switcher rail hides along with it, but its own checkmark stays checked, because you never actually asked to hide the rail — turning the header back on brings the rail back too.

Window

Standard Minimize, Maximize, and Show All.

Help

Help — opens the searchable in-app feature catalog, with categories, explanations, illustrations, shortcuts, Manual links and available Try actions. On desktop Tauri, Open in new window transfers the current entry into the reusable native Help window; unsupported platforms keep the modal.
Keyboard Shortcuts — opens the keyboard shortcuts reference.

A note on multiple windows

Opening a second window (File → New Window) shares the same single macOS menu bar every Mac app has — there's no per-window menu. The Show Workspace Switcher / Show Global Header checkmarks specifically reflect the state of your original (main) window, not whichever window is currently frontmost.
