Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,004 Posted April 27, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I'm using the latest version of the Web app, mostly in the Edge browser on Windows 10. For the last few weeks, I've noticed that every time I press the Home key the cursor jumps, not to the beginning of the current line, but to the beginning of the current paragraph. Likewise the End key forces a jump to the end of the paragraph. This is wildly nonstandard, and makes writing and editing much more difficult. Is anyone else seeing this? Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted April 27, 2022 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 27, 2022 The same had been reported in the Windows desktop application. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,004 Posted April 27, 2022 Author Level 5 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Thanks. I've been holding out for several years on upgrading to that. I realize that has been pointless for most of that time. Now suddenly it seems more reasonable.... Is it also a recent development there? Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted April 27, 2022 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 27, 2022 I've been very content with the v10 Desktop application. There are a few limitations still but if you're currently working with the web version they won't be relevant to you. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,754 Posted April 27, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hmmm - for me in the web client (Safari, Mac), when I hit Home, the view jumps to the first lines of the note, and End moves the view to the last part of the note. But the cursor is not moved at all - it stays where it has been when I pressed Home or End. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,004 Posted April 28, 2022 Author Level 5 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hmmm indeed. A classic case of fixing something that wasn't broken -- and now it is. @PinkElephant, per Wikipedia that behavior seems to be standard in the Mac world. In Windows, Home/End to go to beginning/end of the current line has been standard for decades, as has Ctrl+Home/End to go to beginning/end of a document (and simple Home/End in a browser to go to beginning/end of a Web page). I don't remember any software in which a simple press of Home would go to the beginning of a paragraph (unless of course the paragraph was only one line long). Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,004 Posted April 28, 2022 Author Level 5 Share Posted April 28, 2022 And now, to my very pleasant surprise, I find that in v. 10.36.4, which consists of "miscellaneous bug fixes," this has been corrected. Not broken ... "fixed" ... broken ... actually fixed: the cycle of life. All good! 1 1 Link to comment

When v. 10 first came out, it seemed so hobbled that I kept my distance. But that was a long time ago. Various life distractions have prevented me from trying it out, but I've gotten very comfortable with the Web version, which I assume the desktop version now resembles closely, and I plan to install the desktop program soon. 1 Link to comment

I hope you would find yourself right at home with the Desktop version. 1 Link to comment
