# Writing tools

Formatting, inline completion and emoji shortcodes in the composer.

## Details

- A formatting toolbar you open when you want it: undo/redo, three heading levels, bold, italic, underline, strike, bullet and numbered lists, and block quotes.
- Inline completion offers the rest of a common phrase as dimmed ghost text; Tab accepts it. The phrases are a fixed list, not a model.
- Typing :shortcode: becomes the emoji in both the subject line and the body; :) and the other emoticons convert in the body only.
