Asking mainly out of concern for how the “quick highlight” feature tends to litter the MyClippings.txt file with accidental or erroneous highlights. Edit: Please note that deleting a highlight does not remove it from MyClippings.txt. I use MyClippings a lot and I even have a script for processing it according to my needs.

I don’t have quick-highlight on my PW2 yet. It’s still on older firmware. On my device, you have to tap on “Highlight” in the popup menu before your selection is highlighted and copied to MyClippings.txt. This is how I prefer it. But I’d like to update my firmware to be able to use the newer font options (bolding and sideloaded fonts).

Main question: Is it easy to avoid/prevent accidental and misselected highlights with the current firmware? I don’t want MyClippings.txt littered with mistakes.

I understand you can first select a single word and then modify the selection to avoid quick-highlighting. But how reliable or mistake-prone is that method?
