Sorry I should have been more specific. I want to be able to highlight text as I am reading and the add a color highlight with a single click/shortcut. I use this to indicate which parts of the text I have extracted and turned into Anki flashcards in case I re-read in the future. I am also open to any alternative ways to mark text.
I have found having both edit mode and the preview to be pretty inconvenient for reading as the text often doesn't match up very well. I think I can get a very ugly version of what I want with AutoHotkey. Is there a shortcut to edit the tiddler you are currently 'focused on'? This wiki <https://nome.github.io/TiddlyPlugins/> seems to work with F2, but I think that is a custom shortcut and I don't understand how to set those up.
