Highlightr not working in +Obsidian v.15.8 (last update) + other issues

[gabrielcarus]

Hey Chetachi! Just leaving some issues on the plugins here, so you can take a look later, take your time to deal with your personal problems, no need to hurry! First of all, congrats on the obsidian plugins, very nice job you did, I can see that you putted much love and effort in every single one of them. Thank you a lot.

Alright, so now the issues:

• Highlightr stopped working in Obsidian v.15.6 (or superior), even the shortcuts.
  • 7/22/22 - Updated Obsidian to v.15.8, when using the "Ctrl+P" shortcut it works, but the Highlightr pop up don't.
• An old problem with Highlightr, that I believe you already know, is the space after the marked text. (#39)
• A small detail, that would be nice to analyze, is that cMenu is taking a lot to load.
• Snippets plugin didn't stop, but is having some basic bugs in its structure (not making possible to create new CSS Snippets through the plugin and the "hovering" when using the mouse is also bugged).

As I said, take your time alright? That's it, best of luck 🫂

For those having the same problem, in the coments there is a ton of really good solutions. I personally used (not so aesthetic, but is pretty useful) "Wrap with shortcuts plugin $^1$ ", you can configure hotkeys for each highlight color/font color. It won't have rounded highlights, but it can be a good option until Highlightr plugin comes back.

• The code to highlight in obsidian is: <font style="background-color:#FFBD59A6"> text here </font>
• The code to make colorful text is: <font style="color:#FFBD59"> text here </font>
• The letters and numbers after the "#" are the HEX code that indicate a certain color, the "A6" indicate the transparency. You can find good pallete colors in: https://coolors.co/palettes

@Vanillemilch, thank you, works indeed!

Oddly, and probably unrelated to the menu, I get yellow as a color, but nothing else - looks as if the tag "mark" has a predefined color and ignores everything else. If I replace it manually by "span", it works. Anyone had that?

@Vanillemilch, thank you - that fixed it.

Sadly this fix doesn't work for me (the menu doesn't show up and I have the "focus must be on editor" issue), but command palette shortcut works. This is with Obisidan v0.15.9 and Highlightr 1.2.2. on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS

Thank you for pointing that out! I have the same issue with Obsidian v0.14.6 (latest version for my device) and Highlightr 1.2.2. Shortcut for opening the highlight options doesn't work, right click menu doesn't work, but shortcuts for individual colours work. I downgraded the plugin to 1.2.1 and it finally works normally. I just upgraded it yesterday and hopefully the bug could be fixed for 1.2.2!

It worked for me, but weirdly none of the highlighter symbols show colours now.
