While SilverBullet is not a “proper” outliner, it does offer a number of useful commands to manage outlines.

An outline is simply a (nested) bulleted list, for instance:

• Introduction
  • Context
  • Problem space
  • Solution space
• Problem statement
  • Problem A
    • Sub problem 1
    • Sub problem 2
  • Problem B
  • Problem C
• Related work
  • Area A
  • Area B
  • Area C
• Solution
• Conclusion

SilverBullet offers a number of Outline commands to make manipulating such outlines easier, they are:

• Outline: Move Up (Alt-ArrowUp): moves the current item and its children up
• Outline: Move Down (Alt-ArrowDown): moves the current item and its children down
• Outline: Move Right (Alt->): indents the current item and its children one level deeper
• Outline: Move Left: (Alt-<): outdents the current item and its children one level higher

And for folding outlines:

• Outline: Fold (Ctrl-Alt-[): folds the current item’s children
• Outline: Unfold (Ctrl-Alt-]): unfolds the current item’s children
• Outline: Toggle Fold (Ctrl-Shift-f): toggles the current item’s fold state
• Outline: Fold All (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-[): folds all sections in the entire page
• Outline: Unfold All (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-]): unfolds all sections in the entire page
