--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
But you can already do this by creating a Character style with the desired
background/highlighting and then assigning it a keyboard shortcut from the
Tools -> Customize -> Styles panel.

Then make it repeatable/portable by saving to template ODF.

But yes, providing a keyboard centric means (likely new UNO) to apply DF
character background/highlighting color from the Character Highlighting color
picker to a (multi)selection would probably be a useful DF enhancement for our
"Benjamin" users.

Note: that MSO has both 'Shading' (unlimited) and 'Highlighting' (fixed pallet
of 15) so be sure to keep that in mind, as since LO 5.0 release (see also bug
64490) we save to OOXML as 'Shading'--but if you need to exchange with users
working with MSO--who may be using Words Highlighting tool--you might need to
set the 'Highlighting' radio button in Tools -> Options -> Load Save ->
Microsoft Office 'Character Highlighting'
