When I am reading a book in a floating panel and want to highlight something it seems that I have to dock this panel then highlight the section I want then float this panel again. Is there a way that I can Highlight something right from the floating window...without have to dock the panel?

I had no problem highlighting a resource in a floating window:
In each case, select the text in the resource, move to the Highlighting panel, click the style, and move to the resource window to see the result.
This could be a Mac issue!?

I believe so.

I think the solution is to use shortcut keys (i.e. assign for "yellow"). Hover over the right side of the highlighter name and a button will appear. Click the button and a popup menu with the ability to assign shortcuts will appear.

I put a copy of the Highlighter panel into the floating window. Of course, this may not be a viable option with a single small display.

On the Mac, the shortcut key combination of "command+k will highlight the selection in a floating panel. This will not allow you to select multiple highlighters but will use the last active highlight.

Thanks...I am on a Macbook, and this key combination works

What's the "Mac issue" supposed to be? I just highlighted the same three ways Dave lists, and it worked just fine. Not that I'd normally use either of them. The only times I have the Highlighting panel open when highlighting tend to be when I test things like these.

It works, but why would you want to use two keys when one is enough? (See Alabama's post)

Yes I have tried this also and it works. the problem was that when I had the floating window open then used the highliting the floating window would minimize and when I brought up the floating window again there was no highliting. For some reason now that I have assigned a shortcut it appears to work

I'm not sure. Can I claim confusion?
I originally though the OP was about reading view, and I remember a post some time ago where a user had issues with highlighting in that view. The solution was to create highlighting shortcuts.
