DrFrankBuck 554 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I use the date/time shortcut frequently inside notes. (Control + semicolon). In the new Windows desltop software, I see on the list of keyboard shortcuts that Shift + Alt+ D inserts date and time. For me, it's inserting the date but no time. Does anyone have any insight into this point? Link to comment

DrFrankBuck 554 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Wow, thanks! That worked on Evernote Web and Evernote Windows desktop.. That does give a solution...combine the two shorts and enter Shift + Alt + D and then Shift + Ctrl + D to get the date and time. Not nearly as convenient as Ctrl + seicolon and will take some getting used to, but that will work. Link to comment
Junto 4 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Along this line, I used to be able to insert the day-of-the-week + date via a shortcut, the format for which was selected via the Preference section. Will this be coming back? I used it a lot. Rick ============= Later: Thanks to CalS who pointed me in the direction of PhraseExpress.com, which provided an excellent solution, not to mention the price was great (free). I tripped through the menu and was able to set up a separate folder for Evernote-specific shortcuts. I called my desired shortcut "Log Date". There is flexibility to generate your desired date format, but I had to do a little comparison-analysis to figure it out. I got it done with a little trial and error, actually more errors than desired. Edited October 21, 2020 by Junto Found solution... Link to comment
etant 0 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I used to add a date and time to my notes by using a hot key {Ctrl+ColonKey} but now since the upgrade it does not work. Is there a new hot key or an easy way to add date and time to the body of a note? Link to comment
Mike P 2,972 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 You have to do them separately alt-shift-D for date ctrl-shift-D for time Link to comment

Brian H Wilbur 0 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 MacBook Pro: The Insert button in the toolbar also included access to the Sketch function. Is there a workaround for that, or will the Insert button be coming back? Thank you. Link to comment

Chris_NL 44 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This shortcut only inserts US date format for me. In the v6 it does give me the european date format. Link to comment

Donovon 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I'm in the same boat, I need my old date/time in one shortcut, or the ability to create our own hotkeys. There doesn't seem to be any settings options in the new version Link to comment

I think my point was just that some of the other promised features are fairly clear in terms of their scope but preferences could be almost anything. Personally I'm trying to use the new version as much as I can while providing (I hope) constructive feedback and helping others find features which are still there but perhaps not that obvious. 1 Link to comment

Evernote 6: Shift + Alt + D = 28.10.2020 17:54 (my system settings since I'm European) Evernote 10: Shift + Alt + D = October 28, 2020 (American format without the time) / Ctrl + Shift + D = 5:54 PM (that damn American format again 😫) Would it be so difficult to fix it back? I really feel like the internation clients like myself are forgotten here... 2 Link to comment
MyInternetScout.com 3 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm really unsure why they removed this hotkey function. I also rely on it. Evernote Team, please bring it back! 1 Link to comment

EverHokie 1 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I think the PhraseExpress thing is cool. I think Evernote removing features forcing the use of PhraseExpress is uncool. Link to comment
Anthony Navarro 1 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 On the Mac, now it's Shift-Cmd-D for the date and Shift-Alt-Cmd-D for the time. To add insult to injury you have to insert a space between them manually. Go figure... Yes, I'd love a SINGLE shortcut to insert both 🤪 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,785 Posted July 12, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted July 12, 2021 The number of shortcuts is limited, at least by the number of my fingers and their ability to reach the keys. Link to comment
ShanusPortellusVI 0 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 As an alternative, Evernote provides a download for the Legacy version.https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote Personally I CANNOT stand the new version. 1. The app width only shrinks to a certain size which does not work for my needs. 2. The shortcut functions and a few other things have changed, preventing me from performing basic functions. It would be really nice if Evernote allowed users to customize keyboard shortcuts. Link to comment
