I recommend Keyboard maestro for this task if you are on the Mac.

I have a small pallet in KM that I use to highlight, underline, strikeout texts across all text editors (rtf editors; I used to do so with the markdown as well, I have dropped it now), even in Latex. The best part is, KM can be contextualized to the exact types of application.

If the active application is Latex editor (Texstudio), do \hl{} (that is my command for highlighting with yellow in Latex)
if the application is Keep It, highlight the with yellow color…(text formatting)

the same command (macro) does different tasks on different applications. It is very neat.
