WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
I would like to be able to hit ctrl + i and then start typing in italics. Similarly, having ctrl + b and then start typing in bold would be an excellent quality of life update. Currently, one can only highlight the text and then use the keyboard shortcut to bold it. I want to be able to enter bold/italics/underline mode without having to highlight text or use the markdown shortcuts.
HOW COULD IT BE DONE?
Allow user to use text style modification shortcuts at any time per above description.
REAL WORLD USE CASES
This would greatly improve many people’s workflows. Having to stop and use the mouse to highlight text to bold it is very cumbersome. Additionally, the markdown shortcuts are not as intuitive for many people and themselves can be cumbersome, even for markdown natives (like me).
