(Archived) Position of search box

[DavidCee 0]

It may just be me, but on several occasions I have opened Evernote (3.5 for Windows) to search for something and mistakenly typed into the title box of the currently open note instead of the search bar just above it. Annoyingly there is no Undo for this.

How about adding this undo and moving the search and note title boxes further apart.

I have resorted to turning the note preview panel off for now.

Cheers

Dave

Here are a couple tips to avoid the problem.

1. Change your view from Mixed View to List View.

In List View the title is moved below the Note List

or

2. Change your search to F5

Tools, then Options

Global Hot Keys tab

Change Find In Evernote to F5

Now the F5 key will move to All Notes notebook, clear any search, and move the cursor to the search bar.

This is really cool.

I agree with jbenson that the global "find in Evernote" key is awesome & would help prevent the problem you're having. IIRC, the default is three keys, so that's why I like changing it to a single keystroke like F5.

Thanks jbenson2!! I didn't know about the search key, that's a great timesaver! Also, the list layout hits is a goodie.

Thanks again

David
