What about text styling that doesn't have fairly standardized hotkeys? Pretty much anything outside of bold/italic/underline.
Text color, background color, strikethrough, superscript, etc.? If I'm typing in a block of red text, is my new text black unless I tell it again to be red? If I'm editing a superscript, do I type normal text in the middle of it and then need to select it and make it superscript afterward? Editing text that was highlighted with a yellow background?
It might be an easy toggle for bold/italic/underline but there's a lot of other text formatting that would either need to behave differently or would become a huge pain. Personally I'd rather keep it consistent.
