Nextcloud-notes: MIUI 11 does not show context based formatting menu

IMPORTANT EDIT

### This issue started as an enhancement request, but the characteristics were there, it just turned out to be a bug.

This has been probably asked before, but all I want for this app to be perfect is a little help on writing with markdown, specially with lists.

I can understand a will to make it look simple, as styling in a phone is quite irritating with such keyboards; but quickly setting up lists is quite fundamental in a phone.

Also, in view mode, just like you can check boxes... it would be cool if you could move items up and down, like in Google Keep.

Hi,

thank you for the feedback :slightly_smiling_face:

you can simply long press in any line to transform it into a checkbox.
Also you can long press on an empty line. The pop-up menu contains an entry to create a checkbox.

Whenevery you are in a checklist and press "Enter", the next list entry will be generated automatically.

We do not want any control elements that are visible all the time by design. We strongly focus on context based formatting - only show control elements in a concrete context.

You will notice that you can achieve nearly everything you want from transforming text into italic to inserting a link.

Moving items is an interesting idea, but i'm not sure yet that this is so often needed. After all this app is for taking notes and not a specialized tasks app (that's the reason we do not support a duedate and so on)

Well, that is literally AMAZING. But somehow I cannot make it work on my phone. I am running v2.11.8, on a MIUI 11 phone. Is it possible that this feature is not compatible?
All I see when I long press is the typical "Select/Select All/Autocomplete" menu that appears everywhere.

Can you take a screenshot of the menu you are seeing?

Here you go:

Interesting. Can you try to set your language to US english temporarily?

[ivnvitx]

Yep. Same result (but translated to english)

Please share more data about your exact device model and the software versions (android settings -> about your phone). I will try to find out why the context menu does not work for your device model.

Okay, do you want me to open up a new issue for this?

MIUI version: 11.0.3.0
