Description

Environment

  • TeXstudio: 2.12.22
  • Qt: 5.12.1
  • OS: Windows10
  • TeX distribution: miktex

Since for some font configurations, there is a difference between \mathbf and \textbf, when used inside a math environment, the shortcut Ctrl+B and the corresponding editor button should create a \mathbf environment rather than always creating \textbf.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the Ctrl+B shortcut is currently handled in the editor, find where the math mode detection occurs, and modify the condition to produce \mathbf when inside math mode.
