Description

Right now, Panwriter offers formatting after selecting the text you want to format, but it would be cool to also offer formatting before selecting. I mean, you press ctrl + b and the ****[cursor] appears, but instead, the cursor moves to the center **[cursor]** and then you write.

Panwriter is becoming one of my favourite editors!

Research direction

Start by locating the Ctrl+B formatting command and the editor's selection and cursor handling. Verify how formatting behaves with no selection, then confirm that the cursor is placed between the inserted markers and that formatting selected text still works.
