Add button for linking to communities

[bdcarr]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I want to link to a community with the !name tagging system, I have to fight with my android keyboard which automatically places exclamation points and other punctuation next to whatever character was typed last. So I have to insert the exclamation point, then go back and insert a space before it, then go forward and start typing the community name after the exclamation.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like there to be a little formatting bar that appears above the keyboard when typing, allowing you to insert stuff like this without having to type the characters using your keyboard. For an example, see the github app:

Describe alternatives you've considered

I guess if there's some way to override the keyboard's default handling of exclamation points, but that would cause additional trouble when you actually want to use one normally ! (Like that)

Thank you for opening an issue about it. This relates to a broader topic of enhancing the markdown experience which we understand is quite "raw" currently. Though I believe it is lower on our priority list for now.

True, it is possible to override it but like you said it would be also annoying

Great to hear it's on your radar! Understand about the priority, there are a lot of good features open as issues here.
