Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The one tough part about editing MDs are that android devices lack a tab button. This means constantly typing or removing two spaces when editing things like shopping lists.

Describe the solution you'd like

Swipe to indent/un-indent, similar to Keep Notes

Describe alternatives you've considered

Addition of WYSIWYG for basic MD editing. (Note: I am the creator of OwnNote back in the day for OwnCloud, so I have some experience here, and will be making another Feature Evaluation post about this, too. However, swipe to indent would apply in either situation).

Additional context

I am willing to contribute if this feature is acceptable.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Android note editor and how Markdown list indentation is handled; done means swipe gestures can indent and un-indent while editing lists without disrupting normal note editing.
