Summary
Changing a block's type (e.g. H2 → H3) requires two different procedures depending on whether the block has content, and neither is a consistent keyboard-first path.
Current behavior
  • Block with content: select part of the text, then change the type from the popup (formatting) toolbar.
  • Empty block: type a slash command (e.g. /h3), since the toolbar can't appear without selected text.
So a single conceptual operation ("change this block's type") has two different, non-obvious paths. For a block with content, there's no way to change the type without first selecting text.
Expected / suggestion
A single, consistent way to change the type of the current block regardless of whether it has content. For example, Notion offers a "Turn into" option in the block's context menu that works the same in both cases. A keyboard shortcut or command-palette entry for "turn current block into …" would also fit the keyboard-first design.
