Sorry, you can’t. But you can select piece of text and then open the cog from toolbar and choose the first one (mine speaks Finnish… is it preformatted or something) and then it uses one tick inline and three ticks for a chapter.

Matter of taste, but adding ticks using old way is much more faster.

So, this is a feature request indeed.
