Sorry - I don't quite follow. Take for example LibreOffice. There you
can put the cursor in the middle of a word and the f.i. press Strg+I
and it will be italic, use Strg+I another time, and it's normal again.
In ZIM you have to press one time more to make the word normal again.

Can you explain in more detail, why do you think, that implementing
the same behaviour like it's done in LibreOffice is not possible in
ZIM?
