Markdown Here – Write email in Markdown

In my opinion, it is about the same, maybe easier to not use markdown. If we count keystrokes, it’s less.

If already typed, it’s less keystrokes to select with Shift+Ctrl then press Ctrl+B.

If it’s not typed, it’s less keystrokes to Ctrl+B at he start and end.

For italics, the keystrokes are about the same with and without markdown.

Perfectly reasonable to have both available: type markdown along the way, map keyboard shortcuts to insert the appropriate formatting characters whether used statefully or with text selected.

I seem to remember that typora works that way.
