Surrounding of text with quotes, brackets, backticks etc.

[mikmaksi]

Current behavior

There does not appear to be a way to surround selected text in quotes or other markdown characters like *,$,` .

Expected behavior

1. Select text.
2. Type the character you want to surround text with, for example "[".
3. "[" is then added before selected text and the bracket is closed with "]" at the end of selected text.

Environment

• Boost Note.next version: 0.22.3
• OS version and name: macOS Monterey 12.2.1

Hello,

I agree, it would be nice to have some editor toolbar for formatting the text.

I added initial implementation here: #67
You can look at the showcase, I also added math and brackets insertion, but there are currently no shortcuts to do so.

Let me know if this is what you intended?

Implemented most of it.

Backtick surrounding not yet, but maybe it will be in next release.
