Selecting multiple text fragments for character styling

Support
1

I am writting a note on how to use the ‘vi’ editor when creating configuration files in networking equipment. See picture below.

As a way of making this presentation clearer and easier to read, I am emphasising 'key press’ text, by selecting text fragments and character styling them with ‘fixed width’ and ‘Highlight’ formats.

Is there a way for me to select multiple text fragments, and then, format these with paragraph and/or character styles, as a single operation?

This would cut down on repetitive actions and make the process of making notes more efficient.

No we don’t support multiple insertion points, I’m afraid.

These tend to be available in code editors, which uses monospaced fonts. When you use monospaced fonts, everything lines up nicely so you can space lines.

In Agenda, we don’t have that, so it only really aligns at the start of the line.

As a workaround, you can use backticks to enter inline fixed width letters. So if you were typing this in, you could type `I` to get I in fixed width format.

Sorry I don’t have better news.
