Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. 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.

+1 this also confused me and I thought it was a bug, since it’s so ubiquitous amongst word processors. For me the more important use case is headers (e.g. Ctrl-Shift-1) for quickly outlining sections in new pages, but yes there should be shortcuts for all formats.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND Currently, Notion allows you to select a text and then use keyboard shortcuts to format a piece of text as bold (Ctrl+B) etc. However, let say that as you are typing you know that you have to underline, bold or italicize the next word/phrase, I should be able to hit Ctrl + B (C…

Thanks everyone we are aware of this issue however for current app stage it is not an easy task to do. We will ship it eventually but it will take some time :slightly_smiling_face:

And then when I no longer want the bold words I can just type ctrl+B again to go back to default text. Of course I am using bolding as …

What’s The Bug? Remember how in classic text editors, we use shortcut keys to first establish whether we want the upcoming text to be in bold or italics etc., this is not working in the blocks. I have to write the text first, then select the text, and only then can I either use the shortcuts (Cmd/C…
