I’m really hoping any build now we’ll get this. It makes Bear drastically less useful to not have this option.
When I’m taking something out of Bear, I usually just want to copy the Markdown and paste the Markdown. I work in a lot of Markdown applications. If I start a new line and type ## Sample Header, then hit ⌘← to select the whole line, I don’t get my pound signs! They are characters on the line, but Bear’s attempt to “hide” the syntax from me gets in my way of actually using it!
Quite some time ago, I laid out my own very strong case for Bear’s previously elegant handling of syntax. I don’t care if it’s the default, I just desperately want it back.
