Adding a new tag

[Steve Klinghoffer 4]

It appears to me that if I am adding a note with a new tag that I first have to add the tag by going into "tags" and then clicking on the "add new tag button."  I have been unable to add a new tag from within the note itself by using the edit tag function.  Am I missing something?

My experience has been that that the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut works sometimes and not other times.

If there is some easier workflow I would appreciate it if someone could point it out to me.

Ctrl+Alt+T has gone from Evernote 10

Would the new Ctrl+Alt+3 work for you?

ctrl-alt-T is still there  but only if the focus is on the note in the note list not while you are editing the note. However the menu item (note -> edit tags) works perfectly well when you are editing a note. This is not logical but it is currently what we have.

If you are in a note you can also add tags at the bottom (click down there or F3).

Thank you for pointing out the F3 at the bottom of the note --- very helpful!!

Hello,

In the Windows version, moving tag at the bottom was not a good idea. Also, why cannot we drag tags into a note like we were able to do before?

Rgds,

Isn't that curious... Perhaps it is on its way - either out or returning.  The official documentation says it doesn't exist in v 10

I think it is on it's way in as I remember a big fanfare when it was introduced in the beta. Given that you can access the edit tags menu from the main menu when editing a note I see no logical reason for the shortcut not to work in that context as well. There are so many errors (e.g. ctrl-del to delete a note), things that don't work  (e,g, enter to edit a note) and omissions (e.g. ctrl-shift-D to add the time) in the official list of keyboard shorcuts that it's a bit of a joke. I mean how hard can it be to get the documentation for keyboard shortcuts right?
