When creating a new note in the Mac client (version 1.10.0), the behavior of the URL link field has changed.
Originally, the cursor would first appear in the title field, the tab key would advance the cursor to the tags field, pressing tab again advances to the URL field and hitting tab again advances the cursor to the body of the text.
I loved this behavior. I didn't have to lift my hands off the keyboard at all in order to post a note, which means I could do it extremely quickly. If I did not want to set an URL, it only cost one additional key press to skip over the URL field.
With the introduction of 1.10.0, this behavior has changed. When I create a new note, the cursor is initially placed in the title field (as expected). Tab forces the cursor to zig-zag to the right into the tags field instead of moving downwards as expected. Tabbing again sends the cursor to the body of the note. In order to set a URL, I have to explicitly click on the URL field with the mouse, which is bad enough, but then I'm presented with a dialog box and Cancel/OK buttons.
Needless to say, my workflow and my mental process took a severe hit in terms of speed. I also don't see any preferences for reverting to the old behavior.
I don't understand why Evernote (the company) would introduce this feature?
