Type Editor / @type-editor/commands / lift / lift

Variable: lift

const lift: Command;

Defined in: lift.ts:43

Lifts the selected block out of its parent node.

This command takes the selected block (or the closest ancestor block containing the selection) and moves it one level up in the document hierarchy by removing its parent wrapper. This is commonly used to:

• Remove items from lists
• Unwrap content from blockquotes
• Decrease indentation levels
• Remove other wrapping structures

The command will only succeed if the lift operation is structurally valid according to the schema (i.e., the parent node can be removed without violating content constraints).

Param

The current editor state

Param

Optional dispatch function to execute the transaction

Returns

true if the lift can be performed, false otherwise

Example

// Use in a keymap to lift blocks (e.g., outdent list items)
const keymap = {
  "Mod-[": lift,
  "Shift-Tab": lift,
};

// Use in a menu
const menuItem = {
  label: "Lift out of parent",
  run: lift,
  enable: (state) => lift(state),
  icon: outdentIcon,
};
