Bug ID: 455413
Summary: modern unicode formatting--bold, italic,
underline--for text editing
Product: kate
Version: 22.04.2
Platform: Slackware Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: dchme...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After unicode added bold, italic, underline text standards for fonts, more
plaintext programs started adding those, including Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
which predates most word-processors, but even some IRC programs now make it
easy, so text editors should certainly catch up!
Describe the solution you'd like
Add quick/normal keystrokes/menus to start/end bold, italic, underlined text.
(I now also use other word-processor features plaintext, such as numbered &
bulleted lists, but not asking for such yet, and there's probably much more
others might like but I don't care about.)
(I don't just use text editors for programming, but viewing/editing
posts/articles, short/novella stories, viewing and in the past modifying a
book, editing book-length websites, etc.)
EXPECTED RESULT
Text editors should become more like word processors a little if/when possible,
starting with most simple, common aspects.
