I support users being able to apply the current/last-used highlighting using a
keyboard shortcut.

But character styles aren't composable yet (bug 149271), so we would have to
duplicate each style which may potentially be highlighted.

Not just them. DF for highlighting is reasonable use IMHO for experienced users
also: A temporary formatting which is inteded to go away. Of course, provided
highlighting is distinguished from background color shading ... which
apparently we don't do. But we describe what we offer right now as
"Highlighting", not "Shading", in the UI.
