<p>markdown is getting even more common these days it would be nice that geany can make itself a first class markdown editor. The "urgent" feature I would request:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>When adding a list, a return key should automatically make next line read for the list, now I have to type each list line with "* my line", the "* " part should be automatically added.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>select a few lines and change them to a list easily together</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>when type headlines they should be bold as what <strong>bold</strong> already does</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>select some text then use keybinding to make it bold or italic, e.g. Ctrl+B(bold), ctrl+I(italic) , or just type <code>**</code> , <code>*</code> it can auto be added to both ends of the selected text,  now I can only do this with quote sign `</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>with above features, geany will become one of the best markdown editor, that alone is enough for its wider usage</p>
