(Archived) Shortcut key to type in new note AND to choose notebook

[testing1234 0]

Here's something that I would like to see in EN, that's common on other programs such as Together, Shovebox and Yojimbo on the Mac.....

The ability to have a shortcut command that opens a box so we can manually type in something we want saved into Evernote, AND have a drop-down of some sort that would allow us to choose which notebook the note gets put into .....

no one else is interested in this?

CTRL+ALT+1 to create a new note in the notebook we've designated as "1", CTRL+ALT+2 for notebook "2", etc...

Great idea, methinks!

Ideally, it be configurable, and also global so we don't have to have the full EN app open/running, instead either have the "quick notes" thing in a HUD window (or something similar) or allow you to enter notes pressing something in the menubar.

is it possible to add notes into EN via the menubar without having to open up the entire app? Opening the app just to paste in a note is a lil bothersome.

Also, if at the time of adding a new note, we could specify the notebook it's going to go into, that would be super! Again, either via the HUD-style window or a regular window. Or maybe even a tab on the side of the screen like Yojimbo and Together.

If you go to the "Clipper" pane in the preferences window there is an option you can uncheck called "Bring Evernote to the front after a clip".

Thanks for all of the other suggestions. We'll take them into consideration.

Ideally, the app can just paste it into the EN database without having to open the app at all. The sync can take place in the background with a daemon, or just on the next open of the main app not bringing EN to the front is a good enough temporary stopgap though

another idea [which was just implemented in Together] is to have you be able to CHOOSE when you create the note, which notebook that note will go into, instead of manually moving it inside EN after the fact.
