BBCode auto-complete and/or shotcuts #969

Description

Dialogue Manager 3 is a great too for managing and editing dialogue. The editor works just great but lacks the ability to quickly and easily format the text with BBCode.

To help with formatting text some standard ways are possible:

  1. Add Format buttons to the top bar, applying BBCode around the current selection or, if none is selected, add BBCode syntax (opening and closing) to the current pointer position and put pointer between those BBCode tags.

  2. Add a shortcut mapping for the same functionality.

  • [CMD]+[SHIFT]+[B] for [b][/b]
  • [CMD]+[SHIFT]+[i] for [i][/i]
  • etc.
  1. Add auto-complete for BBCode tags. When user types "[b" propose "][/b]" (and equally for other tags). When accepting the completion, put the pointer in between the tag.

Alternatives:
There is a plugin adding BBCode auto-completion to the script editor. Maybe adding compat for that would work:

This plugin uses [ALT]+ as their shotcuts.

Additional:
Nothing. This tool is great!
