Markdown keyboard shortcuts do not work if text is not selected

[Sacredial]

Describe the bug

Keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + B do not work unless text has already been selected.

To Reproduce

1. Make a text block;
2. Without typing anything in yet, toggle in bold or italic using Ctrl + B or Ctrl + I, respectively;
3. Type anything, expecting the command to work;
4. See the error (text remains plain)

Expected behavior

I expected the text to follow previous keyboard commands like in common word processors and other productivity apps.

System Information:

• OS: Windows 10
• Anytype Version: 0.23.5

Additional context

I usually know when something’s bold or in italics when I write notes, so I find this to break my concentration when typing. It’s nothing major, although I would like this fixed so I put it here.

Hey, do you mean the same as here?

Add style to text before writing it

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 !

Oh, yes! Thanks, I didn’t search of it that way. That makes more sense; I thought it was a bug specific to the current version.

@Sacredial thank you for your report, we haven’t implemented yet, but we plan to do it in the future

I will close this in favor of the linked feature request.
