🧩 FEATURE REQUEST: Support for Markdown Formatting Keyboard Shortcuts

[GreenFlux]

Concise Description

Add keyboard shortcuts for formatting the selected text as bold, italics, and inserting hyperlinks

Description

Requesting support for Markdown keyboard shortcuts.

Solution Proposed

• cmd/ctrl + b: set selected text as bold
• cmd/ctrl + i: set selected text as italics
• cmd/ctrl + k: replace selected text with text placeholder
• cmd/ctrl + v: when pasting a link over selected text, convert to hyperlink

Additional Context

Currently all Markdown formatting characters have to be typed manually. Providing a better writing experience will encourage more text posts, instead of linking to external blogs.

Code of Conduct

• I follow the conditions of this project.

@sshanzel Hello thanks for your support, I am also excited to work on this. How do you suggest that I should build this? I was thinking if you guys are deciding to use some formatting toolbar like library or something that can go together with our existing MarkdownInput component and maybe that library will also help here to implement different shortcut and maybe less chance to missing weird cases than while formatting and unformatting the word selected by the user manually by applying own logic. And will close this issue #1625 also along with this issue ?
