Changelog

Changed

The highlight menu now shows immediately on text selection by default — no shortcut needed.

Previously the "Require Shortcut" setting defaulted to on: you had to select text and then press Cmd+2 (macOS) / Ctrl+2 (Windows/Linux) to open the highlight menu. New installs now default to the instant, selection-triggered behavior.

The setting is still there — if you prefer the shortcut-gated flow, enable "Require Shortcut" in Settings → HiLighter → Shortcuts. Existing users keep their saved preference.

变更

高亮菜单现在选中文本后即刻弹出，无需快捷键。

此前「使用快捷键触发」设置默认开启：需要先选中文本，再按 Cmd+2(macOS)/ Ctrl+2(Windows/Linux)才能打开高亮菜单。新安装用户现在默认即为选中文本即时弹出的行为。

该设置仍然保留 —— 如果你偏好快捷键触发的方式，可在 设置 → HiLighter → 快捷键 中重新开启「使用快捷键触发」。已有用户已保存的偏好不受影响。
