Hi guys, a few further reflections on highlighting:
1. Would it be possible to remove the default HL-options shown for highlight selection? To me the colours are to strong for fluid reading, and I don’t use the red wavy lines/strikethrough. Creating my own options and showing only those would be better.
There could be an option to reset (or add?) defaults if one wishes.
2. Would it be possible to edit, rather than remove, a custom HL style, and have existing highlights of that style change appearance with it?
3. Would it be possible to remove all highlights from a selection of text? Now only the first HL is removed.
4. Could one somehow change style for a selection of highlights? Either ALL HL’s or only HL’s of a selected style in selected text?
5. Would it be possible to “ctrl+z/y” to undo/redo in this context? Especially useful if multi-object edits become possible.
6. Finally, could it be made possible to apply more than one highlight style to the same text?
A process like Tiago Fortes progressive summarization, where you make a first pass with one HL then revisit and distil by applying another style to key content would require this.
One could of course replace the first HL with the second, but this would turn out impractical in practice.
If I want to add emphasis to one or two words in a highlighted sentence, without losing the original "level one" HL, that would mean having to re-highlight the "gaps" in the first-level style again after applying level two HL's.
Distilling "Mother Mary had a little lamb chop" into "Mother Mary had a little lamb chop" would then require five rather than two highlights and very much break flow.
I guess this would require a “Add Highlight” option that could be added to the selection popup bar. And ideally a “Quick Add in current (Separate) style as well.
That’s all for now folks!
