You can create a keyboard shortcut for applying highlighting, but it will
always use the current highlight color (which can be set to something other
than yellow). You could use text shading instead; this can be included in a
character style that could be applied with a keyboard shortcut (this is also
easier to change/remove than highlighting).

I would like to create a shortcut for highlighting text in other colors
than
default yellow. Is there any way to do it? Thanks. M.
