Multiple Highlight Shortcuts?

Ben Hein

Hello Friends,

I am trying to set up multiple highlight shortcuts in Logos. The default has always been Ctrl+k, but every time I want to assign a different highlight I have to reassign the ctrl+k shortcut. I know I could use a different hotkey, but it seems like most other hotkeys are taken by another shortcut.

Does anyone have a system they use to keep multiple highlights hotkeyed at one time? Much appreciated!

I'm not sure how it works on PC, but on Mac I just use a single key. I have assigned letters that represent the color name (i.e. "Y" = Yellow).

It works the same on Windows. You can assign a single letter hotkey by hovering over the highlighting style, then clicking the triangle to open dropdown menu, then clicking the triangle beside "Shortcut key:" to select a letter.

Ctrl+k is just the universal shortcut for "re-apply the most recently used highlighting style." It will continue to work that way even if you use the letter hotkeys to apply highlighting styles (i.e., Ctrl+k will re-apply the most recently applied one).
