While an entirely different approach to changing the color of the text would be needed, I think that mathjax support meaning that a user could color using \textcolor{#}{#} would be AWESOME!

Cool plugin btw! Excellent use for html.

When I've selected some text to highlight, and then right click and select "Color Text" on the menu, the text is colored immediately, as expected:

However, if I select the same text, and try to color it by running Colored Text: Color Text, either with a hotkey or with the command palette, then I see the unrendered html that will color the text only after I click off of it:

I'd like it if the behavior for Colored Text: Color Text was the same as when the menu is used: immediately hide the html and color the text.

This plugin is fantastic, and exactly what I have been looking for.

The README states that you can use hotkeys to do all of this functionality, however, nowhere in either the settings of the plugin, or in the readme are these hotkeys defined?

What are they? Can we add this to the documentation in the README?

Not sure if this is a problem specific to me, or if anyone else has gotten the issue.

As described in the title and as you can see in the attached image, all of the color blocks are black in the bottom right of the screen. I have restarted Obsidian multiple times to no avail.

For system details,
I am running v1.3.5 of Obsidian on Windows 10.

If you would like any other information, let me know. I have not tried restarting my computer yet, as I am amidst some things I don't want to further interrupt. Will update if I see the plugin work in the future.

Currently, the way to apply the selected color is to highlight the selected text, right click, and press color text.

This is fine, but it's not the most efficient solution for those who want to stick to their keyboards.

It would be amazing if we could set a custom hotkey for this behavior. We could highlight the text using arrow keys, then apply the custom hotkey to apply the chosen color. For example in Notion, this behavior exists with the hotkey CMD+SHIFT+H (for Mac users).

Thanks in advance!

From settings, if I select Options (Number of color cells, default = 5), I cannot go back to settings. I have to go back to Community plugins and find Colored Text and start over.

As soon as I use a color, the text formats like bold or italic won't work anymore or I am using them wrong :(

When I click on already applied colored text, there is right click option to remove color.
But it seems it doesn't remove it's tags, and thus doesn't work.

Can there be option to show (and apply) colors on right click ?

I like the function of this plugin, but I'm noticing that each highlight takes more clicks or hotkeys than I am used to on other tools, like Abdobe, pdfXchangeEditor, Drawboard, OneNote,...

In those tools, you click a button on a color picking palette once, and then you are in highlighting mode: anything you select with a mouse or a keyboard (implementations vary) gets highlighted in whatever color is currently active on the palette, which is open as long as you're in highlighting mode. If you select already highlighted text, and then click a delete button (various implementations) then that highlighting is removed. But you stay in highlighting mode until you turn it off.

Here's OneNote's palette:

You just click a pen at the top, and then you can highlight with no further clicking required, until you want to delete a highlight, want to change colors (click a pen), or want to stop highlighting, in which case you click it off.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I usually use Obsidian in split screen, so status bar is short.
So I don't want to put too much things in status bar, otherwise it will be like that:

Describe the solution you'd like
I only use hotkeys to use this plugin, so I think that adding an option to let this plugin doesn't show in status bar is ok.

Additional context
Thanks for your plugin ^_^

This plugin solves the basic need of highlighting. Would suggest adding "BOLD" , "Italic" and "Strikeout" feature additional. This would make the plugin usage more productive.

Thanks for the great usability improvements.

If you're looking for more feedback, my main request would be to improve the plugin for light mode screens. Here some suggestions:

• Pick a highlight mode icon color that's visible on a light screen. One screenshot below is a zoom of the icon in the ON state; the ohter in the OFF state. At normal screen scaling, I can't see the difference.
• the highlight mode icon popup says "Hightlight Mode" but I think most people wouldn't consider what it currently does to be "highlighting." "colored text" would be more accurate.
• I'm finding that highlights -- usual meaning for this word -- are more visible on light screens than is colored text. I'd suggest adding a "highlight" option

Today I accidentally found that it does not only support coloring text but also allows to insert many more inline styles.

May be it's better for this plugin to take broader scope of customization? As an idea maybe make it allow in settings to set user's own css classes and then apply them to some spans that have class attribute
