New Beta testing: Multiple Color Highlighter 🌈

Easier highlighting on macOS when you assign keyboard shortcuts (⇧⌘P was taken for purple - it’s pin note):

On iOS and iPadOS, the displayed highlight color is red but you get the current default - green.

I suppose green as the default makes sense if you’re in Ireland (oh, wait), writing an article about St. Patrick’s Day, or Kermit the Frog. But, as I posted before, for writing in…

  • Literature - green is for main ideas and takeaways (with annotations) and used sparingly
  • Argument mapping - green is used for supporting arguments
  • Law - green (and blue) are used sparingly with yellow used most often for case brief facts, analysis, and procedural history.

So, in many cases, green means something different. Yellow is the standard default color for important text. Even if users can eventually configure the default color in the settings, I still think green as the shipped default is nonsensical.
