Add a floating inline formatting toolbar, when user highlight a text #222

Description

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

I have been using Markpad for the past 3 months and really enjoy it!

However, I find that applying formatting can sometimes interrupt the writing flow. Currently, users have to manually type markdown syntax or rely entirely on keyboard shortcuts, which can be inefficient or difficult to memorize for less common formatting options. I believe anyone has a same common thoughts.

Describe the solution you'd like

It will be great to see a floating inline formatting toolbar, that automatically appears whenever text is highlighted/selected.

Similar to the implementation in Notion, this popup menu should allow users to quickly interact with simple formatting options, including (but not limited to):

  • Bold
  • Italics
  • Underline
  • Strikeout
  • Insert link
  • Insert formula
  • Convert to code block section
  • Etc, anything that useful for users

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Implementing a static formatting toolbar fixed to the top of the editor window (though an inline, context-aware popup is much more convenient and keeps the UI clean).

Additional context

I have attached a screenshot demonstrating how this inline formatting tool looks and functions in Notion for reference.
