toggle predefined type settings?

Post by Ipim19 »

Is it possible to predefine type settings (font, font size, color, italic, bold, etc.) and change them with hotkeys?

Usage: I need to change type settings frequently.
For example writing one line in standard text and then comment it with the type set to a different color and italics. Then change back to normal - and so on.

Is there a way to somehow do the switch with a single click or hotkey for several custom predefined type settings?

For notes? You cannot predefine your own shortcut keys for formatting options but you can use the default ones, like Ctrl+B for Bold, Ctrl+I for Itallic, etc.

Thank you, for this tipp. I know about the Shortcuts Ctrl+B,I,U.
What I was looking for was in fact a way to quickly change several settings - like Font, Color, etc...
I guess the only way then is to dig for one of these macro programs - which from my experience are always a pain to use.
If you have any other suggestion please let me know.

In Notes, you can define styles that let you format text (color, size, alignment, etc). You could define one style for standard content and another for the different color and italics, and then just switch styles as needed.

Styles don't support hot-keys, but they act as a built-in macro, so to speak, to consolidate formats you would otherwise have to apply individually.
