Description
Feature Description
currently none of the client (web/app/desktop) has support for bullets like other apps do
suggestion is to add option for numbered bullets and unordered bullets too
where user can select an option and the automatic continuation on next line
Motivation and Use Case
when someone has to send the message in key points they have to manually enter - <message> on each line
no automatic continuation
this feature will
- help improve user experience
- reduce manual work
- more universal format for message composer
Implementation Ideas
for UX
- integrated buttons in the formatting toolbox
- shortcuts like
-and1.and a space for auto-convert into list - auto increment bullet number of add new bullet on new line
- using keyboard shortcuts
