Description from store
Docs Hotkey allows for complex hotkey setups with simple configuration. Hotkeys can be created to do the following:
- Highlight in any color
- Bold
- Underline
- Italicize
- Change text color
- Change fonts
- Change font size
- Set heading type (e.g., Heading 1, Normal Text, Title)
- Strike through text
- Change alignment and indentation
- Add emoji reactions
- Add bulleted lists and set their spacing
- Clear all styles and remove specific styles
- Execute add-ons
- Insert search menu components (e.g., building blocks)
A single hotkey can be configured to do several of these at once.
Docs Hotkey was originally created solely for the addition of a highlight shortcut, but it has since expanded to many others. If you need a shortcut for something that is not available, feel free to contact me.
Now supports Google Slides and Google Classroom!

- (2024-04-14) JQ Whitcomb: Excellent extension. It takes a few steps to get set up but once you do, prepare to save a ton of time if you do repetitive text formatting changes in GDocs. I use it mainly when grading students' writing work, in order to highlight text in different colors according to their mistakes.

- (2023-07-26) Caleb DeLon: AMAZING. I've been wishing for a highlighting keyboard shortcut for so long. Works perfectly, once I got Chrome's Extension Shortcuts to actually save my shortcut. For some reason it wouldn't accept the shortcut I originally wanted, so I just tried another.
