Just thought I'd share my current solution with others and make a suggestion for a future release.
I predominantly use Yojimbo for organizing my school materials. Class notes, Journal Articles (text/pdf), site archives, etc. It's really helped me get organized and not have a mess of documents all over the place. Wish I could say this about my apartment...
Anyhow, one feature which would really be useful would be a (better) way to highlight text in Yojimbo. Currently I have to define a "highlight" style in TextEdit, which I can then apply to some selected text. This means either showing the ruler and selecting my style, or selecting some previously "highlighted" text and copying the style, and then using command-option-v to paste the style.
This works, but is hardly ideal. It would be great if there could be a key-sequence (toolbar item?) which would "highlight" text. The key-sequence is the key part, it would be nice to highlight text just as you would underline or italicize it. Of course, all it would be doing is applying a pre-defined style, so users could always change the color or other style characteristics.
This shouldn't be too tricky to implement, and I think it would be a welcome addition for every student who organizes notes with Yojimbo. PDF highlighting would also be great (SUPER-great) but I understand there are all sorts of technical issues with that :)
Thanks!
