Quick Highlighter

We have recently enhanced the highlighting capabilities within USMLE-Rx, so that you can now press and hold any color to activate our Quick Highlighter (shown in the GIF below), or use the Ctrl-Alt-Q keyboard shortcut. Once you've selected your color, the system will use that color for other highlights. To turn it off, click the Exit Quick Highlight icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

Please note that we did not include this feature in timed tests, untimed tests, and simulations, since we wanted the highlighting feature to match the yellow highlights offered in the NBME's FRED interface.
