Settings currently only support up to 8 colors. Using more than 8 colors could help keep commands short e.g. "pre blue air" instead of "pre blue play air". Preferably support up to n colors, but otherwise perhaps support up to 12.

@paul-schaaf Cool colours! Feel free to add them to the wiki. Prob worth mentioning what VSCode colour scheme you're using them with

Also worth reporting back after you've been using them for a bit to see if your brain / eyes are able to reliably distinguish all those colours without tiring too much. I actually only use 4 colours now to reduce cognitive load / eye strain, and then a bunch of shapes to make up the difference

I'm happy to add 4 new colors, so going up to userColor6. Note that this should be a very easy PR for anyone to implement, even with zero cursorless dev experience. Just grep for userColor1 in the Cursorless code base once you're set up for development
