Add option to use underscores with bold & italic hotkeys

Sorry, but Unlike the Obsidian-native Shortcuts,
most of these Plugins don’t support formatting Multi-Selects or Table-Ranges.

They also don’t undo the alternative Markup,
so if you have **text** and apply the Wrapper or other Plugins
you usually end up with __**text**__ instead of text.

Just add me here as +1. Markdown’s greatest syntactic fault is not defining asterisks as bold and underscore as emphasis. I wish they’d fix this permanently.

IMPORTANT: if the devs want to implement this (i am hopeful they will), an important thing to consider is text selection, in both normal mode and vim mode “underscore” is considered a part of the word unlike “asterisks”. This is why trying to select italic text made using “underscore” will select the word + underscore unlike when using “asterisks”.

I think this is why they preferred using asterisks for italic instead of underscore in the first place.
