If you’re willing to spend 7 dollars, I posted about a cool utility yesterday that greatly simplifies adding color to text, hilite colors to text and pretty much everything else.
It’s callled Paletro and it an Alfred-like command palette that focuses solely on making every menu item in an app (Mac OS) complete accesible by simply typing a few letters in the menu name.
I too love the new color features and found it cumbersome to repeatedly add color to text. Same with hilighted text. I’ve been using it all day today where I collorize multiple different text blocks with different colors in each note and it’s a breeze.
To colorize text I simply type my shortcut for accessing Paletro (which is option-A, but yours can be anything you want) and then type the letters “te” a space and the letters “col" and the text color menu appears. Return and then the first couple letters of the color I want and it’s done. If I want a custo m color I type cu and the custom color picker pops up. The great thing is that it remembers your last choice so if I want to add custom colors repeatedly to differenet color sections you just go through the above once, and then next times just type option-A to access Paletro and you’re ready to apply the custom picker to the next one.
It works identically for hilighting text. Absolutely every Agenda menu is included. Also you can just start typing the name of one of your categories or sub categories and it will either add a new note to that category or move the current note to that category, depending on which you choose.
Pretty cool and well worth the $7 if this is something you are doing a lot.
