Writers in research/stream-of-consciousness mode often want to highlight text, and you guys have the nice and friendly Highlight feature acknowledging this. However, it seems to have a major flaw: No keyboard shortcut can be associated with it! Strike-through, Italic, etc have (customizable) keyboard shortcuts. Clearly the current highlight color is stored, because if you select it from the toolbar, and just click the button as is, the highlight toggles…It would be great even just to have the event of this button press fire on a hotkey.
Looking a bit further, setting up styles of text (e.g., italic and light grey, or bold and underlined) would be swell, since anyone could set up their own flavors of text combinations for headers or whatever their method of in-page structure demands. It really hits the “flexible workflow” niche of Scrivener.
But, as that’s probably much more work, I’d be thrilled with the ability to assign the current highlight color to a hotkey.
I spent some time looking through the forum history, i noticed [url]https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/highlight-in-different-colors-with-keyboard/14607/2] which asks for this on Mac, but nothing for Windows. I have to assume that this topic has come up before, and I’m new, sorry if i missed something.
