Shortcut to avoid the colour selection dialog

[instancezero]

I just had to go into a node and highlight a bunch of words in a text with a different colour. It makes sense that the colour selection dialog comes up when you click on the text/background buttons, but this slows the process down when you need to highlight several areas in the same colour.

My suggestion is to make it so a shift-click on the text colour or background colour icons just changes to the last selected colour.

Edit: I know the alt-shift-F and alt-shift-B keyboard shortcuts are there, but in this use case it's mouse-intensive and much easier to shift-click an icon.

Hi @instancezero there is an action to apply again the last text formatting whichever it is, see the top menu Format->Format Latest (F7), does that help?

[instancezero]

That's probably more useful, actually! Although it's not a "pure mouse" operation, but come to think of it neither is my suggestion.

I think I never noticed "Format Latest" because the meaning wasn't clear. I'd suggest "Repeat Last Format", or just "Repeat Format" as a better description.

I will apply your clearer description to the action "Repeat Last Format" after releasing v1.6.3, thanks!
