I have used Latex in Humanities, mainly articles, theses and books. Now imagine a scenario in which you have 100 to 200 footnotes, 15-30 numbered items and bullets. Entering #quote[xyz] each time is so laborious! In Texstudio I could have my text commands and block commands on the toolbar. For example I could select a passage and simply click the quote icon in the toolbar and \begin{quote} and \end{quote} would be automatically inserted. Would there be a Typst GUI with all these features? In the Typst Web App there is a facility to change font, underline, italicize, make bold and change heading levels. But it cannot be further customized (correct me if I am wrong). Just some observations.
@Shashidhar_R I’d say it’s a good idea to add some shortcuts for common things. Best thing to do imo is to open an issue on the webapp issues project.
I gotta say, my English teacher also asked why there are so little/not more things that can be clicked instead of typed. Though this comes from WYSIWYG, where everything is a click. I do think that it probably can have more things auto-added/wrapped with a click. But at some point it will be more and more like WYSIWYM. Which might not even be a bad thing. If it gives a better UX, then it’s good.
