When you call up the elements menu, either by clicking it or using Shift+Command+Y (Ctrl+ \ in Windows), you can then press the associated letter on the keyboard to select the desired element. Notice that each element has a letter next to it. The following are available when you're using the Screenplay script format: Scene Heading, Action, Character, Parenthetical, Dialogue, Transition, Shot, General Text, or General Text (Centered). The bottom right pop-up menu lets you choose the element to apply. When you’re in one of the Script modes, the footer bar in the Editor changes.
You can use the footer menu, or the Tab and Enter keys, or a combination of both. There are several ways to apply script elements.
To switch out of Script mode to add a regular text document, use the same menu command or keyboard shortcut mentioned above. If you're viewing a script document and you add a new document, it will be a script document also.

The Binder icon changes to a yellow, hole-punched document (at least if you have vision like a hawk), and the footer bar displays script elements and a menu. If you're working in an existing file, to enter Script mode, go to Format→Scriptwriting→Script Mode-Screenplay (the Scriptwriting menu also has options for comic books, interviews, stage plays, and radio dramas).

It also has a Screenplay Format document at the top of the Binder that explains how to use it. 😉 Using Script Modeįor a new project, I’d suggest choosing a screenplay template, which has things set up for you, including the compile settings. Here’s a quick primer on using Script mode in Scrivener.ĬAVEAT: I have zero experience writing screenplays–and unlike with the book, I don't have Keith and Ioa around to edit my blog posts–so I’m just going to give you the basics on how it works.
