Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/4638

Bug Description

Now type > + space generate an Insert Toggle.
This is a departure from the common markdown syntax, where most markdown rendering implementations present type > + space as a Quotes.

This has caused me some problems, especially when copying other markdown documents into Appflowy, where the Quotes become Insert Toggles!

How to Reproduce

input > + space

Expected Behavior

type > + space generate Quotes

Operating System

macos 14.2.1

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.4.6

Screenshots

" + space in eg. Notion, is a quote, where > + space is a toggle.

But I agree, that > + space should be a quote by Markdown standards. I'm not sure if there is a good replacement for inserting a toggle by shortcut.

Maybe add an application setting item for Quotes and Insert Toggle swapping key combinations, like the fn and ctrl key swapping setting in thinkpad bios.
