Surround selected text with typed backtick or single quote in markdown fields

Brett Walker requested to merge bw-surround-text-wth-char into master

What does this MR do?

When selecting text in a markdown field, typing a backtick or single quote should surround the selected text with that character.

This MR supports the following:

  • ` backtick
  • ' single quotes
  • " double quotes
  • _ underscore (wraps the text in the markdown italic character)
  • * asterisk (wraps the text in the markdown bold characters, **)
  • [ brackets
  • < angle brackets
  • ( parentheses

It's only targeted to our standard markdown fields (issue/mr descriptions, notes, ect). Since blobs are handled using the Ace editor, it already has some limited support (quotes, brackets, etc). If additional support it needed, we should probably consider extending the Ace editor.
