10.39: question inserting an URL

[mczin 68]

new 10.39 feature: Instead of typing Ctrl + K or Cmd + K or hitting the “insert” button to add links into notes with text, you can now copy a URL, highlight some text, and paste it.

How should that work? Like that?:

1. Copy an URL with CRTL+C, like: https://www.google.de/

2. Highlight some text, like: some text (bold = highlight)

3. Paste URL with CRTL+V gives: some text

 

In my case CRTL+V replaces some text by  https://www.google.de

Mine works as expected with either ctrl+V or crl+shift+V. Worth double checking you really have been updated to 10.39? Also works on the web version so you could try there too.

Works for me too... Highlight the text I want to be come a link. Ctrl+V to paste the link from the clipboard and all is good to go.

Weird - what Windows versions are you guys using?  I'm on Win 11 and I can verify that as with the OP pasting into highlighted text totally replaces the text with the URL.  No linking involved.  Ctrl+K meanwhile works fine.  Possibly a clipboard thing? (and I'm on EN10.39.6 too!)

I'm on Windows 10. Can you get it to work on the web version?

[mczin 68]

I'am on WIN 11 too.

On the web it doesn't work either. 

Thank's for your responses. It is not a very important feature for me, just nice ... and I was not sure how it should work.

I'm Win 11...

 

Windows 11

Evernote 10.39.6

OK! Thank you @agsteele.

I think, there is a missunderstanding in how it should work.

If I copy a URL from the note itself, as in your case ...cnet.org and then paste it to a highlighted text, it worked as it should.

But I thought, or my usecase is, it should work when copying a URL from the browseradress field. That doesn't work.

 

 

[agsteele 2,940]

That was just an example. I initially copied from my browser. I run Firefox. I wonder if something odd is getting copied over such as a space or hidden characters. Have you tried pasting plain text? Ctrl+Shift+V

Just a thought. Haven't tried myself.

 

 

[mczin 68]

@agsteeleCTRL+SHIFT+V is working!

 

[agsteele 2,940]

Great! That means you are copying in hidden characters when you get the URL from the browser. Ctrl+Shift+V is clearly the way to go and you can chill with your new foundcool function

...And confusingly mine is working too! - Both current web notes and new Evernote for Windows notes add a URL without any problem.  Maybe the first time I tried a URL copied from outside Evernote...?

And so you should be a able to do so ... 

Try the plain text paste to see if it works for you.
