## Creating Code Blocks

voidraft uses a block-based editing system. Each block can have a different language:

1. Press `Ctrl+Enter` to create a new block
2. Type `∞∞∞` followed by a language name (e.g., `∞∞∞javascript`)
3. Start coding in that block

### Supported Languages

- JavaScript, TypeScript
- Python, Go, Rust
- HTML, CSS, Sass
- SQL, YAML, JSON
- And many more...

## Basic Operations

### Navigation

- `Ctrl+Up/Down`: Move between blocks
- `Ctrl+Home/End`: Jump to first/last block
- `Ctrl+F`: Search within document

### Editing

- `Ctrl+D`: Duplicate current line

### Block Management

## Using the HTTP Client

voidraft includes a built-in HTTP client for testing APIs:

  content-type: "application/json"
  
  @json {
    name: "John Doe",
    email: "john@example.com"
  }
}
```

3. Click the run button to execute the request
4. View the response inline

## Multi-Window Support

2. Each window is independent
3. Changes are saved automatically
