Quick colour highlights

Super simple Obsidian plugin which lets you set custom highlighter colors that can be used with inline md.

I love writing with color, but I'm also lazy and never want to touch my mouse when writing. Existing highlight colour plugins require dragging your mouse over text and selecting colour from a menu. QuickColour allows you to assign a letter key to the end of the default Obsidian highlight key ==, which allows you to trigger highlight colours inline ==b like this==

Usage

Defaults:

==p == - pink
==b == - blue
==g == - green
==o == - orange

Use Obsidian plugin settings to assign more colours to keys in this format. Wrap text in the inline key ==b like this== - the ==b trigger must be followed by a space.
