Note styling

[jeff-h]

I'm wondering what your (longer-term) plans are regarding note text styling.

My hope is you'd consider offering basic style formatting, depending on the chosen file type eg RTF would offer: Bold, Italics, Strikethrough and underline, and Markdown would add H1 to H6. Neither would offer font face or size changes.

Thanks for adding this initial functionality!

To improve feature parity with NV / NVAlt, are there possible considerations to move the pin/unpin key shortcut from ⌘+Y to something else, and move Strikethrough to ⌘+Y?

Maybe move pin/unpin to ⌘+P, since ⌘+P presently crashes FSNotes? (Unless FSNotes plans on implementing Printing, I guess?)

+1 for moving ⌘+Y to strikethrough.

Please don't use ⌘+P for anything other than print (which FSNotes should implement). There's a widespread OS-wide expectation about what that shortcut does that should not be ignored.

[jeff-h]

Even though as far as I know ⌘+Y is fairly unique to nvALT... I'd also love ⌘+Y for strikethrough. It's really handy in my particular useage of nvALT.

The pin idea is really neat — I wonder what other keyboard shortcut would make sense for it?

Hi guys, thank for proposals and feedback. Pin now triggered on cmd - *

Thanks for updating this @glushchenko, but I'm having some issues with the RTF implementation. Instead of acting as a Toggle, the new commands just apply a setting, which means in RTF mode you can't un-style text.

Formatting also doesn't seem to be additive anymore. I'm having trouble testing this thoroughly, but in RTF mode once I have something bold, if I ⌘+U to underline it, it underlines but the bold drops. If I try to re-bold it, with ⌘+B nothing happens. If I have underlined text and then try to Italicize it with ⌘+I that works. Selecting it again and trying to ⌘+B to bold the text does nothing. ⌘+U to re-underline it drops the italicization. Still no way to clear formatting altogether.

Obviously this isn't an issue in Markdown mode because it's all plaintext.

@jeffgeorge, will be fixed in next release.

[glushchenko]

@jeffgeorge fixed, 0.16 updated.

[jeff-h]

This is really awesome work.

I noticed one oddity — setting a style on a selected piece of text should leave the selected text still selected but it currently deselects it.

What about strikethrough? It's greyed out in my installation. Will it be implemented in the future? I could not find a definitive answer in this thread so I decided to reopen it. I use md to save my files.

[jeff-h]

Partially related; strikethrough works fine in rtf (I don't use md).
