Adding keyboard shortcuts for highlight styles

  This example will show you how to add highlighting styles to keyboard shortcuts. Having keyboard shortcuts for highlighting styles can make it much easier to add highlighting to your books. If you have several shortcuts that you remember it will prevent you from having to open the Highlighting tool and save you space on your layout.

  See Shortcut keys for a detailed explanation.

1. Right click on the Green Underline style you created above.
2. Click the arrow to the right of Shortcut key
3. Scroll down and click on A to have Logos assign the keyboard letter A to the Green Underline style.
4. If you create other Underline styles, you can add other shortcuts as described above e.g.
   • B = Blue underline
   • C = Red underline
   • D = double underline
   • E = wavy underline
5. Now open a book (e.g. ESV Bible) and select some text
   • On your keyboard press the letter A to apply Green Underlining.
   • Apply other underline styles as required, using their shortcuts.
