Add highlight colour to toolbar

[extracampine]

Being able to “customise toolbar” is great as it allows quick access to the things you use most often. What I use most often at the moment is the “highlight colour” option. The label colours are available on the toolbar, but I can’t figure out how to add the highlight colours to it. Any help appreciated!

I don’t see an option like that; I’m pretty sure it’s not possible. (Well, maybe with a custom toolbar script, but I don’t see the point.)

Isn’t the Editing Bar enough?

You can also assign keyboard shortcuts to the different colors.

If you use a trackpad, it’s also possible to do some magic with Better Touch Tool, like here:

Highlighting problems

If you, like me, don’t want to use keyboard shortcuts for highlighting, you could also use Better Touch Tool to enable highlighting with Magic Trackpad gestures, like a 4 finger tap, to make this much faster than using the contextual menu (which would drive me nuts because it’s so slow). I posted my setup here a while ago, maybe this is of interest to you as well… [Screenshot 2021-03-19 at 17.48.58]

Something I blogged about a long time ago, though I didn’t find it on a quick search (kinda busy in here ) but I have used this method for years…
