HeX color field input box [Suggestion]

[MedBooster]

Howdy
See the attached screenshot

1) would you consider implementing a HeX color field input box, similar to the ones available for font size/type?

2) (PowerToys) , would you consider adding a keyboard shortcut button to the color picker in PDF-XCE so that you don't have to enter the "more colors" tray/palette/menu whatever you call it to change the color. Or wouldn't that work because you would have to pick stroke or fill color first?

3) [Suggestion applying to ALL input boxes]
would you consider allowing keyboard shortcuts to basically open this drop-down menu (with the ability to type in it) or use arrow up/down Enter to choose a size or recent HeX color choice in this case?

Hello, MedBooster

1. Unlikely, as for the vast majority of users, the RGB configuration is much more easily digestible, but I will pass it on.
2. Likely impossible for the reason your suspect, but it will be passed on.
3. This one somewhat already exists. Once you have a custom color in place, it appears for quick selection on any other color dropdowns:

There is no keyboard shortcut for it, as that would be extremely complex to configure in a predictable way, but considering that a given content item will only ever have (at most) 2 colors to choose from, this should not be too cumbersome.

[Edit]:
An update, #1 has been accepted, and a ticket made:
RT#7218: FR: Allow/show Hex color input directly from properties panel
While #2/3 have both been rejected, I am sorry to say they will not be seeing implementation.

Kind regards,

@Daniel I'd like to add my vote for this for #1.

For people with web backgrounds, actually hex configuration is much more easily accessible. We're more used to seeing hex colors, ie for red FF0000 rather than 255,0,0

Hello Mathew,

Thanks for that!

#1 is indeed now with a ticket for it, and would be implemented when our devs get to it in their ToDo lists. I do not have a time frame yet though.

Kind regards,
Stefan
