[FR] Hotkeys for different annotation colors #174

Closed gabbauer closed 5 months ago

Describe your request

Hi, thx for the great work so far! If it were possible to select the annotation colour of a text with a hotkey, that would be great. So if I could mark the text in the PDF with the mouse and then use a hotkey to select the colour in which I want to annotate the text instead of having to click on the color before or after that (e.g. control R for red markings and control B for blue markings). Especially with auto-paste = on, this would make marking extremely easy (even compared to other annotation tools such as Zotero).

Thanks! I will address this as a part of the linked issue #159.

For now, my recommendation for speeding up the color-switching process is to set the option "Show the context menu right after selection text when ..." (obsidian://pdf-plus?setting=showContextMenuOnMouseUpIf) to "Always" and use the context menu to copy links. It will enable a Zotero-like workflow. For example:

Closing this for now since it will be kept tracked at the linked issue.
