Highlightr not working in +Obsidian v.15.8 (last update) + other issues
Hey Chetachi! Just leaving some issues on the plugins here, so you can take a look later, take your time to deal with your personal problems, no need to hurry! First of all, congrats on the obsidian plugins, very nice job you did, I can see that you putted much love and effort in every single one of them. Thank you a lot.
Alright, so now the issues:
- Highlightr stopped working in Obsidian v.15.6 (or superior), even the shortcuts.
- 7/22/22 - Updated Obsidian to v.15.8, when using the "Ctrl+P" shortcut it works, but the Highlightr pop up don't.
- An old problem with Highlightr, that I believe you already know, is the space after the marked text. (#39)
- A small detail, that would be nice to analyze, is that cMenu is taking a lot to load.
- Snippets plugin didn't stop, but is having some basic bugs in its structure (not making possible to create new CSS Snippets through the plugin and the "hovering" when using the mouse is also bugged).
As I said, take your time alright? That's it, best of luck 🫂
For those having the same problem, in the coments there is a ton of really good solutions. I personally used (not so aesthetic, but is pretty useful) "Wrap with shortcuts plugin $^1$ ", you can configure hotkeys for each highlight color/font color. It won't have rounded highlights, but it can be a good option until Highlightr plugin comes back.
- The code to highlight in obsidian is:
<font style="background-color:#FFBD59A6"> text here </font> - The code to make colorful text is:
<font style="color:#FFBD59"> text here </font> - The letters and numbers after the "#" are the HEX code that indicate a certain color, the "A6" indicate the transparency. You can find good pallete colors in: https://coolors.co/palettes

Peace ✌🏻
I am so happy I found this post, I thought I was the only one with this issue.
FYI, I found a partial work a round -- by setting hotkeys for the various colors, I can now again add highlights. But setting a hot key to open the highlightr doesn't work -- it just doesn't respond, and doesn't display the choice of colors. Also, to unlighlight, right-clicking on the highlight doesn't bring up the unhighlight menu, but raises a note that "focus must be in editor" (I'm using live preview). Clicking on the highlight puts it in edit mode, then right-clicking brings up unhighlight option, and clicking then unhighlights. Hope this may help in troubleshooting. Really like this plugin when it was working normally.
See my post #41
Another workaround for those who don't want to make new hotkeys:
Highlight the word, open command palette, "Highlightr" - pick a color.
This takes longer, but I have enough hotkeys as it is, so this works for me as a temporary solution.
To be clear:
(1) Select text (2) Right click (3) Choose "Highlight" (4) Nadda, nothing, zippo
Control P works fine.
I've just installed it yesterday and was struggling for hours. wish I noticed that its no longer available much earlier
For a workaround for the broken context menu (for the Desktop app), go to your .obsidian\plugins folder or Settings -> Community Plugins -> Installed Plugins and click the folder icon:
Go into the highlightr-plugin folder and open main.js. Search for menu.showAtPosition and replace the following:
menu.showAtPosition({
x: coords.right + 25,
y: coords.top + 20,
});
with
const orig=menu.__proto__.sort; // Save the original function
menu.__proto__.sort = function() {}; // Replace the sort function with a no-op function
menu.showAtPosition({
x: coords.right + 25,
y: coords.top + 20,
});
menu.__proto__.sort=orig; // Reset the sort function
Basically, the menu.sort function relies on menu items which this plugin just ignores. So, when it hits menu.sort, the dropdown is rebuilt and the dom (which this plugin manipulates) is reset. This change just makes the sort function a no-op.
I'd like to confirm this is happening to me as well. The context menu doesn't work, but commands do.

Tried this, but didn't work. Still getting the same "focus must be in editor error message"
menu.showAtPosition
According to this method of modification, it works for me, but it needs to be closed once and restart obsidian
Working for me too ! Just got to restart my computer, only restart obsidian didn't work.
Still no luck on my end...
Seems to be skipping over that menu.shotAtPosition block and going directly to the error message. Logged it out in the console to see what is going on. Anyone else on a Mac? Could that have something to do with it?
