In multi-line text fields, when an asterisk is the first character on a line, start a bulleted list
As an Aha user, I frequently use bulleted lists to convey information about features, requirements, personas, etc - all over the place really.
Since I use bulleted lists so often, I frequently type an asterisk on a line and hit space, expecting it to convert to a bulleted list like many other web apps do, but this is not the case. Instead, I have to delete the asterisk, then manually hit the bulleted list button. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it happens several times a day and usually causes a break in my train of thought, since now I'm trying to figure out how to use Aha, rather than focusing on writing killer features and requirements for my team.
What I would like instead is that if I type an asterisk as the first character on a new line, a bulleted list is automatically started.

Get ready for even more team collaboration. You can now use rich styling tools including new font colors and highlighting to tell a better story. Write and edit alongside your colleagues and view changes in real time.
The new editor will automatically create a list from an asterisk, dash, or number.
Hurray! Glad to see this shipped.
You should really consider implementing markdown as the standard text editor.
Please also implement the same technology when I start typing 1 as the first character on the line.
