highlight the line where I have the cursor

DEVONthink Automation

Hello there,

I would like to highlight lines in different colors. Now The manual steps are:

1 triple-click so I select the whole line
2 select the highlight color
3 highlight

It would be possible to automate this and asign a keystroke for each color?

I have search about select the whole line but I only found information related to caracters, words and paragraphs.

Is it posible to applescript the highlight property?

Thank you very much for your time
Regards
Javi

Paragraphs are basically lines with a carriage return/line feed at the end. Here’s a demo script using a different background color for each paragraph:


tell application "DEVONthink Pro"
	tell text of think window 1
		set theCnt to number of paragraphs
		set i to 0
		repeat with thePara in paragraphs
			set theColor to ((i * 65535) / theCnt) as integer
			set background of thePara to {0, theColor, 0}
			set i to i + 1
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell
