IshaanV 1 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hello, There should be a customizable "date" shortcut (This was there on the native versions of evernote before the 'new' evernote). One should be able to choose several preset options, such as: MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY One should also be able to drag each element, add text in between, etc. For example, if someone wants to set up a format such as: Today is December 03, 2020 They should customize it as such: "Today is "+ [Month] + " " + [DD] + ", " + [YYYY] or some drag-and-drop, interactive, intuitive UX. The options should be: MM - Month, represented by two numbers (May would be 05, December would be 12) DD - Day, represented by numbers (the fifth would be 05, twentieth would be 20) YY - Year, represented by the last two digits. 2020 would just be 20, 2019 would be 19. YYYY - Year, represented by all four digits Month - Month, as a word Day - Day as a word Year - Year as a word (optional, I don't think anyone would like saying "twenty twenty") Additionally, the user should be given the option to bind any key (or combination) to insert this customized date. I think this would be an excellent addition to evernote. I use it daily, and I have always wished for a feature like this. 1 Link to comment

Maybe evernote can have a developer mode where scripts/macros can be added. Link to comment

Hello,
There should be a customizable "date" shortcut (This was there on the native versions of evernote before the 'new' evernote).
One should be able to choose several preset options, such as:
MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY
One should also be able to drag each element, add text in between, etc. For example, if someone wants to set up a format such as:
Today is December 03, 2020
They should customize it as such:
"Today is "+ [Month] + " " + [DD] + ", " + [YYYY]
or some drag-and-drop, interactive, intuitive UX.
The options should be:
MM - Month, represented by two numbers (May would be 05, December would be 12)
DD - Day, represented by numbers (the fifth would be 05, twentieth would be 20)
YY - Year, represented by the last two digits. 2020 would just be 20, 2019 would be 19.
YYYY - Year, represented by all four digits
Month - Month, as a word
Day - Day as a word
Year - Year as a word (optional, I don't think anyone would like saying "twenty twenty")
Additionally, the user should be given the option to bind any key (or combination) to insert this customized date.
I think this would be an excellent addition to evernote. I use it daily, and I have always wished for a feature like this.
