Editor Context Menu

Right-clicking inside the content editor opens a context menu with actions that adapt to what’s at your cursor. The menu is divided into sections based on what you right-clicked on — a plain text selection, a linked entity, or a date/time mark.

Plain text selection

Select any text and right-click (or use the keyboard shortcuts) to see:

Action	Shortcut	What it does
Copy	Ctrl+C	Copies the selected text
Cut	Ctrl+X	Cuts the selected text
Paste	Ctrl+V	Pastes from clipboard
Link to Entity	Ctrl+K	Opens the entity search dialog to link the selected text to an entity in your world
Assign Date/Time…	—	Opens the temporal mark dialog to annotate the selected text with a date or time
Extract Entities	Ctrl+Shift+E	Runs entity detection on the selected text only — see Selection-based extraction
Extract Relationships	Ctrl+Shift+R	Runs relationship detection on the selected text — requires at least 2 linked entities in the selection

Tip

Ctrl+K is the fastest way to link an entity: select the text, press Ctrl+K, and type to search. No mouse required.

Right-clicking a linked entity

If you right-click directly on text that is already linked to an entity, the menu shows entity-specific actions instead:

Action	What it does
Change Linked Entity	Swap the link to point to a different entity
Go to Entity	Opens the entity in the sidebar panel
Add ”…” as Alias	Adds the link text as an alias on the entity (only shown when the text isn’t already the entity name or an existing alias)
Create Relationship	Opens the relationship creation dialog with this entity pre-filled as one end of the relationship
Remove Entity Link	Unlinks the text — the words remain but the entity link is removed

Note

Remove Entity Link is highlighted in red as a destructive action. It only removes the link — it does not delete the entity from your world or change the mention records.

Right-clicking a date/time mark

If your cursor or selection is on a temporal mark (text annotated with a date), the menu shows:

Action	What it does
Change Date/Time…	Reopens the date/time dialog to edit the annotation
Remove Date Link	Removes the temporal annotation — the text remains, the date association is deleted

Selection-based entity extraction

Rather than running detection on your entire document, you can extract entities from a specific passage.

1. Select the text you want to analyse
2. Right-click → Extract Entities, or press Ctrl+Shift+E
3. The same detection engine runs on just the selected text
4. Suggestions appear in the Entities tab immediately, ready to confirm or dismiss

This is useful when you’ve written a dense section — a battle scene, a character introduction, an infodump — and want to catch all the entity references in it without re-scanning the whole document.

The detection method used (GLiNER or AI) follows your world’s configured setting, and the detectionEnabled flag in World Settings must be on for this to work. See Entity Detection & Mentions for details on the two methods and their trade-offs.

Selection-based relationship extraction

Once you have confirmed entity links in your text, you can ask the AI to detect relationships between them from a specific passage.

1. Make sure at least 2 linked entities appear in the text you want to analyse (unconfirmed suggestions don’t count — they must be confirmed links)
2. Select the passage
3. Right-click → Extract Relationships, or press Ctrl+Shift+R
4. The AI analyses the selected text and creates relationship suggestions

The Extract Relationships item is greyed out and disabled if fewer than 2 linked entities are present in the selection. Hovering the disabled item shows a tooltip explaining the requirement.

Data privacy

Extract Entities sends only the selected text (not your full document) to the detection engine, plus your world’s entity names. Extract Relationships sends the selected text, the confirmed entity mentions within it, and your world’s relationship type catalogue to the AI model via OpenRouter.

Neither operation sends your full document or any other content units.

Keyboard shortcuts summary

Shortcut	Context	Action

All shortcuts require a non-empty selection to activate.
