Suggestion make bold more visually distinct

Hello, first-time poster. I’ve been playing with some of the typography settings and choosing different fonts. But I can’t seem to find the right ones so that my bolds are really distinct and different than the normal regular font. Right now you can barely tell the difference.

Would be great if it was more evident.

Thanks. Great app!

Even if they don’t stand out enough for you they have the advantage of multiple colors and a UI control as backup to any keyboard shortcuts you set. You could also just adjust styling so that flagged rows show a yellow background same as you have now.
