Shortcut for Notes
I would like to highlight some text in a book, press a keyboard shortcut for notes, and then go straight to the notes for that book. Is there a keyboard shortcut for making a note?
Thanks.

If you are asking whether there is a way of setting up a keyboard shortcut to make a highlight (which I think you are but you might be asking something else) you can do this.
It is outlined in a training video at https://www.logos.com/training/logos6/highlights-intro (about 2:28 into the video) or at https://wiki.logos.com/Highlighting#Shortcut_keys
Does this help?

As far as I know, highlighting and notes are not the same thing. When I add a note to a highlight, I don't see that yellow sticky note that tells me I left a note there. I want a keyboard shortcut for the note feature rather than the highlight feature. Thanks for getting back to me.

Technically, a highlight is a particular type of note. A highlight is stored in a Notes Document (in the same way as notes are).
When you create a note you have the option to create it "by selection" which links it to a particular piece of text or "by reference" which links it to a particular biblical passage (you choose which you want based on which option you select at the top-right of the right-click context menu).
A highlight is a "note by selection" without any additional text added

That is because the highlight is a "note by selection" and adding some text to it does not change that. You get the "sticky note" for "notes by reference"

To the best of my knowledge there isn't any such shortcut - sorry.

I have been struggling with some of the same issues you are and started a thread in the Logos 6 forum:

But in the end it seems that cut and paste are the best we are going to get.
