How can I quickly copy the format of one word and apply it to another?

    I spend a lot of time highlighting words in different colors.
    I want to reduce the time spent on these actions.
    Could you please suggest how I can quickly copy the format of one word and apply it to another?

    Perhaps there is a suitable plugin for this.

    I would like to have the ability to quickly copy the text format of one word and apply it to another. Right now, I have to manually highlight different words in various colors, but this is very tiring and slow. I haven’t found a simple solution to this problem.

    I am looking for a way to perform these actions faster. For example, with one key combination, I could copy the text format, and with another, I could apply it to another word. Alternatively, I could assign a specific text format to key #1, another format to key #2, and so on. By pressing the corresponding key, I could quickly apply the desired format.

    Here’s an example of a page where I’d like to speed up the text color editing process.

  • Interesting question. I see what you mean with all the different colors. Not sure if there’s a WordPress plugin that could help you with this. But maybe if you clone/duplicate a post that gives you a starting point that’s quicker and easier to work from?

    Also, you might use a clipboard manager on your computer maybe? If you work in the text editor, you could copy/paste different sections of formatted text into a notepad document. Each on their own line. Something like this (from your example page): 

    <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-nv-c-2-color">Die</mark>

    <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-neve-link-hover-color-color">Haushalt</mark>

    <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-custom-4-color">w?scht</mark>

    …etc.

    Then when you start working on your page/post, you could first copy into your clipboard manager these different styles. And whenever you need them, quickly paste them from your clipboard and adjust the text.

    You might be able to speed this up more with something like autohotkey.

    I hope this helps ??

    autohotkey? – Wow. Super. I didn’t know that.

    I’ll try later and show you what I got.
