Create shortcut/button that edits text at the same time
Hello!
Is it possible to create a shortcut/command in the quick access toolbar that does command "text highlight color" and "Underline (CTRL+U)" at the same time for selected words? Instead of having to use one command at a time? This would save me and my colleagues time.
I work with documents for constrution of building services where we have the following system: text that has been added since last released version is shown with underline and grey highlighted color. Text to be removed is shown with striketrough and grey highlighted color

I agree. Use a style, a character style. You can assign it to a keyboard shortcut if you wish.
