Request: Markdown helpers in the edit field #46

Open

Description

@tstirrat

It would be good to have some context aware markdown helpers in the comment editor. Here are my big picks that drastically improve speed when writing PRs:

  1. Paste link while text is selected -> auto linkifies. i.e. becomes [selected text](<link>)
  2. Pressing ` with text selected surrounds that text in back ticks rather than replacing the text
  3. Continue bullets when hitting return on a single line that already has * or -
  4. Cmd + b to bold selected text, same for Cmd + i for italic

    👍 these are great improvements, thanks for the idea. I want to call out thought that (4) already works today, if it's not working for you that's a bug (it's working for me).

    I did notice that (4) works not long after this, thanks!

    Pushing a build now that implements (1) and (2)!

    (3) is still on the TODO list.
