Keyboard Shortcut to Merge or Join Multiple Blocks #655

Open glawton opened 3 years ago

glawton commented 3 years ago

Describe the problem

There is no easy way to join multiple blocks into one block other than going to the beginning of a block and hitting delete, but this only joins 2 adjacent blocks. This is important when:

-Multiple adjacent blocks should be part of paragraph -Copied emails have hard line breaks within paragraphs. -Copied PDF files have hard line breaks within paragraphs

Feature implementation

You would select multiple blocks, hit a keyboard command, like CTRL+J and the blocks would become one as demonstrated in this video from the program EccoPro.

This is the feature itself: Ecco_Text_Merge

This one demonstrates how when you copy text in from a PDF, it can be automatically joined using the CTRL+J keyboard shortcut.
