Can I ask what your goal is when highlighting? Is it based on the word or is it so you don't lose your place or what?
I only ask because I don't do it but I sometimes find it difficult to read large amounts of text on screen and I've not a quick solution to it yet. I'm curious if this would work for me.
- lucideer 9y agoI can't speak for everyone, but for myself and people I've discussed this with in person, it's not intentional; it's more of a tick. That said, I find it does come in useful for keeping track.
- fiatpandas 9y agoSpeaking for myself, it's completely out of my control. I highlight randomly while reading, and the highlights aren't necessarily focused on the section I'm reading. And just because I highlighted something doesn't mean I will pause and look at it. Maybe I enjoy the colored aura of highlighted text flashing and changing in my periphery. I've never seen someone in person doing it, but I've read other accounts online. And this is definitely the most I've ever thought about it. It's interesting to read other people highlighting to keep their place. I've never thought to do that. I normally just scroll the paragraph I'm on to the top of the browser.
