Unlocked underlining in Z7?
In https://www.zotero.org/support/pdf_reader:
> In the default, unlocked mode, with nothing selected in the annotation toolbar, whenever you select text in the document, a popup will appear with a selection of colors, and you can click a color to create a highlight or underline on the selected text.
But AFAICS it's not possible to underline the selection from the popup. You just have the option to select a color and then the text is highlighted with that color. Neither is it possible to change the style of the annotation to underlined after the fact.

I see your point and have thought about it but still think that the usage pattern is clear and intuitive enough (after all, it's what Preview has done for years in macOS, to give an example). Indeed, as I mentioned, I find it quite confusing right now in that after selecting text I expect the buttons to act on the selection and get surprised each time.
> The colors are specific to each tool.
Ok, I thought they were global.
> The change here will just be figuring out a way to expose underlining via the popup that already appears
I would avoid a combinatory of options (colors x tools) and also be concerned about how to accommodate future extensions (strikethrough, bold, etc). Some apps present a popup with color choices along with tool choices, if you select a color it waits for the tool to be selected, if you select a tool it uses the currently selected color.
