Question. What if you want to bold an indented list item? How do we communicate to users that selecting a list item and pressing Shift+Tab will not land them in the toolbar? Tab is easier because there's really nothing useful there for specific text changes. I wonder if this is another example of where some type of helpful hint should be used. |

@ellatrix Is there a simple way to add a dialog/modal tip?
Ultimately the main issue is, there is no easy way to implement common shortcuts as they are already used. :( |

Btw, Shift+Tab is only taken over for outdent/indent for a collapsed selection. So selecting some text, and pressing Shift+Tab to get to the bold button still works. |

Let's merge. Yes there's a very limited clash but only when there's a collapsed selection at the start of a list item. Most of the time you'll want to use the formatting buttons after selecting text, and you can still use the cmd+b shortcut if you really want to bold without selecting text. We can look into communicating the behaviour, but would love the help of a11y experts there to propose how. |

What?
Same as #56474, but adds tab to indent and shift+tab to outdent only when the selection is at the start of the list time, which means normal tab/shift+tab behaviour is preserved elsewhere in the list item.
Why?
See #45404.
