On my other machine I had a Dorico key command to change selected item red. This was great to quickly tag things that needed fixed, for example. Looking thru Key Commands menus, I cannot figure out how to do this from scratch. Anybody remember how we did it?
It was probably something you did directly in your key commands JSON file. You can edit this file (carefully!) and assign a shortcut to the command:
UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kEventColour&Value=string: "#ff000000"
You could also record a user macro changing something to red, and then either (a) invoke that macro from the Scripts menu or (b) invoke the macro from the jump bar (after restarting Dorico).

I remember now. Yes that’s how it was done. But when I edited the key commands json, I missed it up and had to recreate the file. The newly-created file must be hidden because I can’t find it again. After looking in the right place(s). Feeling dumb.
