Highlighting Tool: re-group Emphasis Markup

Perhaps there was a reason for it & perhaps there is a related thread I didn't find, but I'd like to suggest that similar Emphasis Markup highlighting is grouped together...just like is done with Solid Colors and Highlighter Pens.

For example, put the blue, green, red, and pencil underlines together, the single wall and double wall box together, yellow glow and on fire together, etc. It would cut down my searching for what I'm looking for. And it is all about me, after all ... [;)]

oh, and as long as I'm asking for the moon, it would be really nice to be able to drag over an area and by applying a given style have the binary effect of turning it on or off ...

the reason is that sometimes I use multiple styles at once, and when I make a mistake, "Erase" removes all of it, which I must then re-build. [:(]

Have you tried undo?

That's Ctrl+Z.

hummm... I must be misunderstanding; I've CTRL-Z'd but I see no change. I've searched all over, and can't find an "Undo" button anywhere in L4b SR-1.

Here is a (silly) sample of overlapping highlighting; if I want to undo the "On Fire", all I know is to Erase that area...then I'd have to re-build 4 levels of highlighting manually.

If these do not work it should be reported as a bug

There is no Undo button. It's only a keyboard command.

And Undo does not work with Highlighting. It has been requested in another thread (http://community.logos.com/forums/t/10526.aspx) and passed on to development. I've also added it to UserVoice, the site where Logos is tracking user interest in particular new features (or recovered features that used to be in Logos 3). So cast your vote if you want this to be added in a future release: http://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-4/suggestions/599859-allow-undo-ctrl-z-for-highlighting

That is not cool.

Thank you for that info

I'm running V4b SR-1, and for me those shortcuts don't work when working with highlighting in a resource (testing on ESV).

Curiously enough, neither do the zoom in/out shortcuts.

But CTRL-K and CTRL+Shift+K do.

Poll: Do CTRL-Z and ALT-Backspace work for other people to peel off the last highlight? If so, in what version of Logos?

never mind...that other thread captures the "undo".

Now to just fix the order the Emphasis Markup tools are displayed in... [:D]
