Give a count to bold/italic/strike mappings

[victorkristof]

I really like how wrapping works, it makes it so easy to add markup to text. Most of the time I want to mark in bold or italic a single word only, so using <prefix>b is really convenient. But when I want to do it for several words, I need to visually select them first.

Would it make sense to add a count to these actions, such that [count]<prefix>b would mark the word under cursor and the [count] following words in bold?

Example

Cursor location indicated by ^.

This is a sentence with bold text.
                        ^

I press 2<prefix>b to obtain

This is a sentence with **bold text**.
                          ^

Hi again @victorkristof, you are on 🔥 my man, I like it! 👍

I think this should also not be too hard to implement and would make sense indeed, thank you for yet another good suggestion <3

[victorkristof]

Glad to hear!

By the way, currently <prefix>b is applied on a Vim word. I think it would make more sense to apply it to a WORD.

In fact:

This is snake-case.
        ^

becomes

This is **snake**-case.
        ^

when I press <prefix>b. But I was expecting

This is **snake-case**.
        ^

It depends on how WORD is defined for markdown, since if it contains . characters it would cause bolding text to include punctuation within bold style, will check it out!

@victorkristof yoho!

Been working on this a little bit, I think #104 supports all the behavior in this PR and a bit more and actually also fixes some small deficiencies I noticed while testing.

You can pull master / update mkdx normally to check it out, let me know if anything doesn't work properly for you, otherwise I think this one can be closed :)

See my comment in #101 :)

@victorkristof if you update again it should be fixed, re-merged all features I removed before

[victorkristof]

Awesome! The count works perfectly and will be super useful. Thank you!

Aight, with that I'll close this one, let me know if you see any more issues, feel free to reopen if you do!

Cheers for the suggestion, I may end up using this one myself now as well :)
