Really amazing tool, love it. A couple bugs though: You have to manually set the keyboard shortcuts, it doesn't come built in with them. I suggest having that in the instructions section. Something like "Go to extensions, then manage extensions, press the three lines, go to keyboard shortcuts, then set the shortcuts for Markit- we recommend blah blah blah" And the change colour tool sadly doesnt seem to work.

Does not work on Windows PC. Does not allow me to highlight nor take notes even when following the instructions in the extension. When pushing ctrl+k it opens google search bar. Using the latest version of chrome which I believe is Chrome v91.0.4472.124
