Multiple blocks: Keep all text formatting icons #27221
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Editing large amounts of text can be a challenge at times when it spans across multiple blocks. One example of this is that when you select multiple text blocks or even try to highlight specific text across multiple blocks all options for formatting (bold, italic etc.) disappear except for text alignment.
Describe the solution you'd like
It seems odd that you can continue to change text options like alignment but not the text formatting. I understand that you would only make formatting changes to highlighted text and not an entire group of blocks but it seems that when selecting multiple blocks when they contain text could always allow making the text bold.
This is a small feature that would help to remove the feeling that Gutenberg isn't friendly for writers who are primarily focussed on text-based content.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The issue of text selection across multiple blocks might be the underlying difficulty here. Perhaps a solution where text can be highlighted across multiple blocks would allow for a more refined approach though I'm not sure how that might even work.
