A keyboard macro program for adding color to subtitles w single key

[loninappleton]

Can someone say if Sub tile Edit has hot keys for adding color codes (max three needed) for editing and creating subs.
The subject line is to look for a stand alone keyboard program that can remap three keys to the code of a few SRT colors-- no more than three needed for use with old style membrane keyboards. Mine is a Belkin 6565 and still in good shape. I thought if I could program three plus the terminate color keys on the numeric pad (1 - 2 - 3) would work well

I guess actually an additional key to turn the font color off is needed. So an example is:

<font color="#ffff00"> {text} then </font> to turn the color off.

Since my question SE informed me yes there are are some shortcuts for color in earlier releases of SE. Those look like the screen shot
an the path SE > Options > Shortcuts > scroll down to List and text.

I was not successful in getting it to work because no guidance on it.

Has anyone just simply used the color options successfully in the past?

I do know that manually entering a color like the earlier example shows up on the video in SE using the recommended player.
