I second donmcleman - Evernote REALLY needs an option where you can lock the highlighter (like with Windows)! The only people who would find this keyboard shortcut faster are those people who select a word using the keyboard (and I would think they are few and far between). There is no value here to using a keyboard shortcut. Anyone who uses a mouse will have selected the text to be highlighted with the mouse, their hand will still be on the mouse so clicking the icon in the toolbar is quicker to activate the highlighting. I've tried using the Ctrl + Shift + H shortcut – this can hardly be convenient for most users. The need to keep going back to the toolbar to select the highlighter tool really slows down the process of highlighting the important points in an article (and I was stunned when I first started using Evernote that this simple method wasn't already in place). The Alt + keytips can also apply / remove highlighting.Īlt, H, I reaches the highlighting pull-down menu with Yellow highlight as the default.It would be a huge boost to productivity if you could switch on the highlighter and leave it active to highlight any new selection that you make – as you would do in the 'real world' when you pick up a highlighter and hold it in your hand. See Highlight tricks for Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook Keytip to Highlighting in Word Ctrl + Alt + shortcut combinations are used for other Word formatting, most notably the Heading styles ( Ctrl + Alt + 1 for Heading 1 etc …)
Ctrl + H is the long-standing shortcut for Replace. When there’s no selection, pressing Ctrl + Alt + H starts the highlight painter (the mouse pointer changes) then select the text.Ĭtrl + Alt + H might seem strange but there’s a logic to it. Or, if the text is already highlighted, the highlight will be removed. Select some text then press Ctrl + Alt + H to highlight the selection with the current color. NOTE: if the last / current highlight color is ‘No Color’ then Ctrl + Alt + H won’t change the text.
The currently selected highlight color is used, as shown on the ribbon button. Maybe Microsoft has some reason, though it’s hard to fathom.Ĭtrl + Alt + H will apply or remove highlighting. Why is the label missing? Who knows! It could be an oversight, if so it’s a long-standing one.
