Better still, select the desired format and Ctrl+Shift+C to copy it. You can
then use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste it as many times as you like, with as many
intervening actions as required. The format remains available for pasting
until you copy another one.

If you are using the "Format Painter" icon you can select your text that
you
want to copy the format of, double-click the "Format Painter" icon, then
click every place you want the format to be. Press ESC when done.
