Use case or problem
Obsidian should format whole lines, if there are no characters selected and we apply formatting options:
- highlight mark,
- bold,
- italic,
- quote,
- strikeout
Applicable to:
useful for short sentences and eventually headers
Proposed solution
Remove character selection as a strict requirement if users don’t select any characters
Current formatting
Currently, we are able to format headers in a very convenient way, (especially useful on mobile) if we put our cursor in a random spot of a line and activate the header formatting
I want this formatting feature applied to other formatting options too (bold, italic, etc.)
Desired formatting extended
- place your cursor in a random spot of a line to format,
- Press your shortcut for bold to format a whole line without any characters selected
- Obsidian will apply bold to the whole line
Note:
if we want to format sentences in paragraphs without line breaks or just some words in a short sentence instead, then we need to manually select words before we apply formatting, this is understandable and needs no further discussion.
Current workaround (optional)
None, to format a sentence we’ve to select first some words/characters manually
