- Rated 5 out of 5by Shodaime, 6 years agovery good and promising.
is or will there be any sharing feature for Textmarker?Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi Irwan,
a sharing option is on the todo list. Can you open an issue on GitHub or alternatively contact me via e-mail? It would be helpful to discuss with the users what and how exactly they would like to share. Sharing via e-mail would be text-only (no markup), since there is no remote server behind Textmarker. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14647009, 6 years agoThanks to thoughtful people like this developer, I can get the idea "it would be nice to be able to highlight this," do a quick Google search and bam, there's a free extension with more features than I even need. Thanks!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Larry, 6 years agoSpent days highlighting my notes for the upcoming finals only to find out it didn't save ANY of the highlights. There is no save button so one would assume it got saved automatically, apparently it doesn't.
EDIT: After enabling an option to save automatically it worked.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi Larry,
I recommend to test after your first highlights if they got saved.
Saving highlights works for thousands of users. Why it doesn't work for you can have tons of reasons (i.e. wrong OS, wrong usage or simply that you did highlights on a page that constantly changes its content). Therefore I also recommend to read the instructions first and in case of problems ask the developer for help (per email or by opening an issue on GitHub).
EDIT :-) Also keep in mind that Textmarker might not be able to restore your highlights in case the corresponsing page's content changes before your next visit. Address for issues/bugs/feature requests: https://github.com/ufb/Textmarker/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by zato.prosto, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by UPukaJRm, 6 years ago>> UPDATE: Lowering from 5-stars to 4-stars
>> I think since 5.0 my setting for "Shortcuts - Choose a highlight method" is overwritten every time the add on updates. I want "Use shortcuts or context menu" but the default of "Show marker popup" is the default. I change it to Menu but after an add on update it goes back to Popup. This conflicts with another add on that has a highlighted text popup. So I have disabled Textmarker and hope this is fixed soon. This is still a great add on if you want the Popup option for highlights.
Fantastic add on! Just about perfect for highlighting within current Firefox. I have one issue that would make this 5-star add-on a 6-star: allow Custom Markers to appear under Customize Shortcuts. I want all my shortcuts to start with Alt but Customize Shortcuts does not show my Custom Markers. My desired end state is Markers for alt-1 alt-2 alt-3 alt-4 with alt-d as delete. With Textmarker 3.10.0, the alt- modifier can not be used with Custom Markers like alt-1 and alt-4. Note, the whole issue with having to use Alt- is because I use "Search for text when you start typing" which means just using 1, 2, 3, 4 for markers also causes the Firefox search to pop up for that number. One other feature would be nice: Textmarker right click pop-up option to delete all markers on current page. Anyway, awesome highlighter, easily the best option for Firefox webextensions, maybe the best Firefox hightlighter ever!Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi UPukaJRm, thank you, I appreciate it! Custom shortcuts for custom markers is a good idea - will be implemented with next release (which will take a while, because I'm currently working on a bunch of new features).
For deleting highlights I recommend using the context menu (right click), or in case you want to delete the last highlight it would be safer to use the corresponding shortcut for "Undo", which you can customize as well.
For deletion of all highlights I'm not so sure if that would be something that is really needed, because you could just delete the whole entry from the history, which has the same effect;) Feel free to email me to share your thoughts on that (undflybir at gmx.de); alternatively you can open an issue on github: https://github.com/ufb/Textmarker/issues
UPDATE: changing degree of appreciation of this review from 5 stars to no stars. If you encounter a bug you can contact the developer via email or via opening an issue on github, but trying to manipulate me with the number of pentagram icons won't work and is not appreciated. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13497971, 6 years ago

Developer response
posted 6 years agoYes, and I mentioned at 3 different places that FF doesn't allow extensions to work in built-in PDF-viewer anymore. So, nothing I can do there.
Anyway, I recommend using the highlight function of the pdf program of your choice- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14357608, 6 years agoGreat addon !! Really love it, does the job perfectly and is very useful for my intensive reading.
The developer was also kind enough to quickly rectify a bug which was in conflict with my other add on :)
Simple yet powerful ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14350043, 6 years ago
