How to Use?

📝 Highlighting Text
      >  Inline Popup: Highlight text on any web page and a popup should appear for 
      you to select a highlight color. This inline popup can be disabled in the extension 
      menu, Settings tab, and unchecking the box labeled "Enable Inline Popup".

      > Context Menu: Highlight text on any web page, right-click the text, and select 
      the "Save to LinkLight" option in the context menu.

      > Keyboard Shortcut: Highlight text on any webpage, press the keys 
      [CTRL+SHIFT+S]. This keyboard sequence can be updated in the "Manage 
      Extensions" menu and selecting "Keyboard Shortcuts".

🌈 Add More Highlight Colors
      > You can add up to 3 favorite colors to alternate between when highlighting text. To 
      add and configure these colors, open the extension popup menu and navigate to the 
      Settings tab. Select the color swatch labeled "Current Highlight Color" to open the 
      color-picker to select a new color. Once the color has been chosen, select the plus 
      icon (+) above the color to add it to your favorites. 

🏷️ Organizing Your Notes
      > Notes can be organized by either changing the color you highlight the text or by 
      adding tags to notes.

      > To add tags, open the extension popup and type in a tag label for a note, then press 
      enter or select the plus icon. Once applied, the tag gets saved and will be used with 
      other notes.
