I stated my request in the second sentence, though my syntax leaves the critical part at the end. I’ll revise it so that “when I press Cmd+B” opens the sentence instead of closing it.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
The underlying weirdness is markdown supporting both __ and ** for the same instruction.
Which then puts editors in the position of having to support both for rendering and because of the need to conserve key bindings they will choose only one.
Maybe users could be offered a choice, but the downside of that is locking both keybindings to this one instruction or having a potential conflict if anyone maps the unused one to something else.
I always thought of this as a feature, not a bug, though I understand that it can become frustrating for editors. (I wrote a Markdown syntax for Sublime Text some years ago, and had lots of fun with nested formatting )
Yes, I’d like to be able to select whether Cmd+B/I use underscores or asterisks.
I moved this topic to #feature-requests, as I gather that that’s what it is
