CmdCreateAnnotHighlight and other CmdCreateAnnot* #

• color : default, color
• openedit : Boolean, false if not given. Opens the Contents editor on the property row after creating the annotation (the old annotations window is gone). Creating an annotation always turns on Edit PDF mode.

• setcontent : Boolean, false if not given. For highlight/underline/squiggly/strikeout annotations, sets the annotation’s content to the selection (the annotation’s text)

• change default color for annotations
• create multiple shortcuts for different colors
