Is there a way to use the highlight function in composition mode?

I use it a lot and have to exit compisition mode everytime to click the little button in the same area where the font, size etc is. Is there a way to add “elements” to composition mode?

Hi machs, and welcome to the forum.

If you’re using the same highlighting color each time, you could try the keyboard shortcut of Shift+Cmd+H (⇧+⌘+H) to either add a highlight to selected text or remove a highlight from the selected text.

It uses the last highlight color you selected, so it won’t be as handy if you’re changing the highlight color often.

You can also use the Format → Highlight menu command. In composition mode, move your mouse up to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
