Quick Markdown insert
Multiple ways to implement this :
- Select a word, then right-click and chose a formatting option (bold, italic, code, etc)
- Select a word and like in Office apps chose formatting options in a toolbar
- Add keyboard shortcuts to add a specific markdown
- Add most used markdowns under the input and make them clickable to insert them
- Add an icon to add markdown (like the Emoji icon)

When adding Emoji icons, an error occurs. Maybe there will be some advice?

There could be a formatting toolbar as well, for example a few buttons under the message field to apply bold/italic/stroke/underline/code to selected text, or to change current formatting.
This is useful for people who don't know markdown, are too old to learn it or for people who cannot easily reach some keys (e.g. ~ and ` are not present by default in some keyboard layouts).
