In any case, the OP wanted it automatically - pushing CTRL-B was too much work. I would have recommended setting the keyboard shortcut to CTRL-SPC… that way it’s easier to find the space bar and you don’t need to lift your finger as high on the keyboard

How do you set keyboard shortcut on Mac?

In the menu:
Edit/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts

- Select the command from the list so it is highlighted
- Type your shortcut in the box below
- click on the Assign button

repeat for other shortcuts

- click OK when done

I don't see "Edit" when I go into Preferences in Sigil.

On a Mac that would be Sigil->Preferences Then select Keyboard Shortcuts

You may also want to take a look at the Sigil User Guide which explains much of these basic features and how to use Sigil in general.

I wanted to karma you for this, but apparently, I need to spread some around.

And while we're at it:

I mean, what, is the program meant to magically infer what you want to do with the selected text? Horseradish.

I like horseradish, for example together with sour cream as topping on salmon with lamb's lettuce and potato croutons.... hmmmm

I rather like it on uber-rare, paper-thin-sliced cold roast beef with crusty french bread. Hmmm....now, you've made me hungry!
