Yojimbo is useless to me because I cannot highlight text in notes!!

[pryley]

Unless there is a hidden keyboard shortcut to highlight text that I
just do not know about, Yojimbo is useless to me because I cannot
highlight text. Together does this, so does Journler and MacJournal!

There must be something wrong with your installation. Text can be
highlighted in Yojimbo in the same way as in any other applications.

I suspect he means "highlight and change color" in an easy manner.
Yojimbo doesn't really have this, that I can find.

It is possible to select text and then go to the "colors" menu and
change the color of the text. I know somewhere buried there is also
an option to "highlight background instead of text" but in 5 minutes
of tinkering, I couldn't find it.

It would be nice to have something simple like a toolbar item to
highlight text for this, or else a shortcut. Right now, I've resorted
to just using bold fonts. You could obviously select colored fonts as
part of your styles but I don't know whether you can easily assign
keyboard shortcuts to these.

Changing text color is easy (Shift+Cmd+c), but I'm talking about text
highlighting...if it is already possible with a keyboard shortcut,
tell me how to do this and I'll be a happy customer. As you can see
from the screenshots below, many other similar (and competing )
products have this feature...being able to annotate (highlight) text
is invaluable to any note taking/storage application.

you need to create styles in text edit, add them to favourite styles
and then they are available to yojimbo.

getting highlighted colors as styles isn't easy in textedit either,
but this tip shows you how.

you'll need the formatting menu on in yojimbo cmd+r and you'll need to
apply the style via the dropdown style menu, but it's a start…

It works for me you just have to set up a style in text edit.

I have not fully understood the responses regarding highlighting text
in Yojimbo. However, I just found a simple way to get "highlight" into
the ruler's styles. I created some highlighted text in the free word
processor Bean (http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html), selected it and
added it to the styles menu with the name "highlight." It now works
beautifully in Yojimbo and a key command can be set in Preferences/
Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts/Application Shortcuts.
