            Bug ID: 129473
           Summary: [Feature Request] Make a keyboard shortcut to
                    highlight text (similar to CTRL+ALT+H in MS Office)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I am a freelance paralegal and work with several attorneys to draft legal
documents. 

I frequently need to highlight certain sections of the documents for the
attorney to review. As a fan of keyboard shortcuts, it would be extremely
helpful to have a keyboard shortcut to activate the highlight feature. In MS
Office the shortcut is CTRL+ALT+H if you have text selected.

Actual Results:
I have attempted to create a keyboard shortcut in TOOLS >CUSTOMIZE >KEYBOARD to
make highlighting text easier (and without using the mouse). None of the
shortcut keys accept the highlight function; even after saving the shortcut,
exiting and restarting the program. Under the list of "shortcut" keys
CTRL+ALT+H does not have any feature or function currently assigned.

Expected Results:
I would like the software to have a keyboard shortcut to highlight text without
using the mouse to click on the highlight button on the toolbar.


Reproducible: Always
