Description

This addon allows you to define shortcut keys to set the selected text to a specific colour in the editor.

Updated recently to change the default shortcuts, as F11 is now used by Anki.

In Anki 2.1, you can customize the shortcuts and colours by clicking on Config in the add-ons dialog.

In Anki 2.0, you'll need to edit the add-on source code.
