    Would it make things easier, and therefore quicker to implement, if a copy of the Colors palette were put on the Highlight Properties window? That would halve the number of clicks I have to use at the moment so would be a huge time-saver. It wouldn't need to be editable there, it could just be shortcuts to the colors already saved to the Colors palette. We could go through the usual steps if we want to change the colors on the palette.

    dear adobe please do something

  • Al commented  ·   ·  Report

    Could you add a small palette of the most recently used highlight colours to the top level context menu for highlighted text? That way it would much be easier and quicker to change the colour of highlights in just two clicks - right click then pick a colour.

    Is there an eta on when this will be done? It would vastly increase the speed that I process reading material for my job as an instructor (higher ed).

    This would be incredibly helpful! I am a Professor and need to be able easily to use different colors in highlighting the many different projects for my students!
