Color selection icons in Libreoffice (top) and Calligra (bottom)

My thoughts on this request:

Highlighter: A new icon is needed and should not be too hard to make.
Squiggle underline: A variant of format-text-underline should be possible.
Typewriter: While I can see why you like text-convert-to-regular, using that
icon here is not quite semantically correct. I think it would be more standard
to use either insert-text or insert-text-frame depending on whether the tool
allows you to type freely or requires you to draw a bounding box for the text.
Inline note: note fits this quite well, but I do wonder if a insert-note icon
with a little plus sign in the bottom right corner would be more appropriate.
Arrow: A draw-arrow icon that looks like draw-line but with an arrowhead should
fit nicely.
Color and inner color: It might be easier to take the approach that Calligra
and LibreOffice have regarding this (see attached screenshot), which is to use
the format-text-color and format-fill-color icons and overlay a rectangle in
the selected color on those. I think this approach is better because it ensures
legibility of the icon regardless of the selected color and it is probably
better for compatability with third party icon sets.
Pin annotation: What do you think of window-pin? We can make a symlink to
another name like edit-pinned or something like that.
