Local character formatting preserved on style/var. change

[nicka]

As I said above:

With ad-hoc formatting generated in Mellel, the solutions seem easier. Allow a preference to turn off Command-i, Command-b etc. Or (preferably) allow the user to reassign them to character style variations. They will not work quite the same as in other applications (not toggling) but it would eliminate a lot of accidental generation of ad hoc bold and italics.

I think we are beginning to go round in circles here. Still, we have had a chance to give our opinions and back them up with reasons. The developers will decide...
