To add style to text, first it has to be written.
Describe the solution you’d like
Using the already existing keyboard shortcut (for example CTRL+B )before writing should make the typed text bold until I press the shortcut again.

Describe the bug
I am unable to format the text while or pre typing
Context
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Say I want to bold a sentence,
in other platforms I can ctrl + b on a blank screen to toggle bold mode on
then plainly write the wanted sentence,
ctrl + b to turn off bold mode.
but it is not the case for Anytype.
Here, I have to drag to select then change the format, building extra step and being counterintuitive.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
OS: Windows10
Device: Lenovo
Version: 0.17.2

That’s weird, I could have sworn formatting hotkeys worked this way at some point…

@Oshyan Agreed, I’m almost sure it used to work before. Strange.

Just wanted to add that I’m on the Windows version of AnyType and I’ve been unable to pre-format text since I downloaded it.
I asked for this in october https://community.anytype.io/t/-/1002
It has never worked for me.

@marcoccio Oh yeah, this post reminded me of yours, which I had liked earlier. That’s why I guess I thought it used to work. This post is a duplicate then.

It would be awesome if it works like word processor. We have to have the word selected to make bold or italic or otherwise.
Happy (belated) birthday to this feature request! I also miss this when writing in Anytype.

I can replicate the issue and only seem to be able to set an empty block to align differently but not other formating.
It indeed is a little quality of life fix that should be possible.

I’m having the same issue; this is particularly problematic when one is write a link or inline code. If you ever get the cursor back to the end of the link or inline code, the formatting becomes “sticky”; whatever you will write will be a link or an inline code.
The only way that I’ve found as a workaround is to select the last character you wrote, then use a keyboard shortcut or the formatting menu to un-format it, and then continue writing. Which is pretty slow, unfortunately !
I’d like to be able to format text “in advance”. When I hit ctrl+B without selecting text, this should lead the text I write next to be bold. It’s annoying to always go back to format text.
