Highlighting a field, which is frequently useful, involves multiple steps:

  1. Activate field viewer
  2. Scroll to field
  3. Select 'Highlight'
  4. Select 'Save'
  5. Close field viewer

I would be very helpful if you could simply right-click on a field and select 'Highlight' from the table view. I believe this was possible in ArcMap.

Seriously though, I was just getting irritated trying to highlight a field and also thought adding it to the right-click menu would be a huge improvement. I would highlight fields a lot more if it wasn't so cumbersome to turn on (and off).

I often have tons of fields that I don't want to remove. Right-click 'highlight' for the few I need would be incredibly helpful. Going to the field view and scrolling down to the fields you want to highlight is quite annoying. In ArcMap, you just right-clicked and selected highlight.
