Code and code block shortcut in iOS and iPadOS bottom bar

Without an external keyboard, backticks are impossible to be found on iPad. I think it would be useful to have shortcuts for wrapping text in backticks just like we have for bold and italic. I’m thinking of two shortcuts, one for simple inline code (single backtick) and one for code block (triple backticks).

Done! Will be available in the next Release and TestFlight beta. https://testflight.apple.com/join/fm9q4OjE

Eduard Metzger: awesome! Thank you! I can’t wait!

I have added code blocks/fencing. But I’m not sure what other icon to use for inline code. I want to add this too, but I’m running out of icons. Any ideas? See https://fontawesome.com/, anything there I can add very quickly.

Eduard Metzger: I think that the iOS GitHub icons feel pretty intuitive. In font awesome that would be code-simple and square-code. Although I see they’re Pro icons and available in 6.0.0-beta1 which might make them unavailable.

Alin Panaitiu: Oh man, you are right. FontAwesome 6 has it. I bought it just a few months back, so that should be no problem. I searched in FontAwesome 5 all the time. Thanks so much for checking it!

Eduard Metzger: I'm happy to hear that! Is there a Testflight beta I could start testing that also works with Setapp licensing?

Alin Panaitiu: Yes, see: :arrow_right: Mac AppStore: https://noteplan.co/download/NotePlan-3-Beta-643-AppStore.zi… :arrow_right: Mac Setapp: https://noteplan.co/download/NotePlan-3-Beta-643-Setapp.zip :arrow_right: iOS: https://testflight.apple.com/join/fm9q4OjE You can also check on Discord in the #releases channel. On the website you find the Discord invite. I keep the betas up to date there.

The latest beta added the second of your requests. But I agree about the first, as the backtick is very difficult to get to.
