FEATURE REQUEST: Undo support for highlighting

A number of times I have accidentally selected an entire paragraph and pressed Ctrl+K (to apply the last-used highlight) before noticing that instead of highlighting a single word I'd selected a paragraph or two. Then, the only way to correct it is to erase all highlighting in that paragraph and re-apply all previous bits of highlighting on individual words.
Please can undo support be added for highlighting?

Highlighting undo = Ctrl +shift + K

Robert,
I don't think that's what he's going for. He wants to have ctrl-z functionalitly. Say he has a paragraph with 5 words highlighted yellow. He goes to highlight a sixth, but accidently grabs the whole paragraph. Now, in order to get only his six words highlight he has to "shift-ctrl-k" the whole paragraph and re-highlight just those six words. It would be preferable to be able to click "undo" or "ctrl-z" and undo the entire last action, leaving the original 5 words highlighted.

Bob,
I think Ctrl+Shift+K = Erase Highlight,
However, I like your idea for an Undo function for highlighting, especially if you have multiple layers of highlight.

Yes, that's exactly it. Ctrl+Shift+K = <Erase Highlighting> - what I'm hoping for is some way to undo mistakes (such as accidentally highlighting an entire paragraph) without losing individual word highlighting previously applied. Ctrl+Z would be a marvelous thing here...

Yay! Now that highlighting has become so awesome and you can easily mess up your Bible text something fierce by playing around with it, the only thing missing is undo capability.
Actually, one other thing is missing which would make clearing old highlightings easier: make Next Highlight not only scroll to the next chunk of highlighted text, but select it. Currently, to erase highlighting, you've got to select exactly that highlighted text (or a bit more) and press Ctrl+Shift+K. It would be nice if you could just search through your book looking for old highlightings that you might not care about anymore, using Next Highlight, and then be able to erase them easily without having to also select the text.
