In you myLeoSettings.leo file, under @settings-->@keys-->@shortcuts, add the shrotcuts (in the body text of the '@shortcuts' node: markup_inline_bold ! body = Ctrl-B markup_inline_italic ! body = Ctrl-I markup_inline_underline ! body = Ctrl-U restart Leo Put the downloaded code in a node, and run it... normally you'd do that by hitting Ctrl-B, but we just redefined that :-) So use alt-x execute-script instead. Now in the body you should be able to get **bold** *italic* :ul:`underline` with the expected keys. It should be fairly predictable when there's a selection active. When there isn't, it just opens or closes the markup type depending on whether the last action was an open or close, so I guess nesting would be problem, but rst doesn't understand nesting inline markup anyway. The difference between open and close only applies to underline, where the beginning and end delimiters are different - more a demo than anything. To make the code active without the execute-script step it could be placed in a node which starts with @script, although you need @bool scripting-at-script-nodes = True under your @settings node then. Ideally it would be in a plugin (although it seems heavy to put essentially one function in a plugin) or core, so it didn't need its own node in the target outline or @settings.
