So now I’m really curious what people think about this "greedy" style behavior. Is Pages at the forefront or bowing to MS Word expectations?
I’ve gone to lengths to preserve "traditional" Mac behavior in MarsEdit’s rich editor, then I see Pages defies it!pic.twitter.com/XwdO10b7Yz

I confirmed that at least MS Word online has the same "greedy" formatting behavior. https://onedrive.live.com/

@danielpunkass Most of my frustration with Windows is when actions (like that one) don't apply to the selection. Drives me nuts. - View other replies

@olofhellman It’s off-putting to me but in this particular scenario I’m warming up to the idea. Seems uncommon to shift styles mid-word.

@danielpunkass does that happens at the end/ beginging of a word too? If yes sucks otherwise I think is a cool feature IMHO. -
@Razvn No, only in the middle of a word. Yeah, it has some advantages. -
@danielpunkass then looks like a nice feature. Why would you change to bold in the middle of a word? -
@Razvn Right. Well, probably not too often. But those want to have been used to doing it one way for 30 years. -
@danielpunkass that closes the door to evolutions or new new things. Maybe a setting if you’re afraid to angry them and want support both.

@danielpunkass And I thank you for that, but then again, I’m an old-school fart. -
@danielpunkass I wasn't aware of this greedy style but I almost like it better. CMD B is as both a modifier AND a mode switcher otherwise. -
@danielpunkass I haven’t seen that behavior in word 2010 or previous. But I like this conceptually. -
@danielpunkass Thank you. Glad someone remembers how this stuff is supposed to work. -
@danielpunkass you're the keeper of the flame. Be proud.
