Boot17 1,452 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I'm sure they'll expand it, but --yeah-- most of those slash commands can be accessed by keyboard shortcut or markdown snippet syntax shortcut. Slash commands are cool and I know this is just the first iteration and I'm sure they'll improve on it with feedback. And my feedback is that it's cool, but the "Press "/" to insert an element" is pretty jarring to see so much. I bet (and hope!) we'll see it tweaked. 5 Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,965 Posted March 6 Level 5 Share Posted March 6 I've got it in the Web client, not the desktop, both v. 10.79.2 (I just manually updated the desktop, the Web got it earlier). The / list is exactly the same as the blue + list. I'm glad finally to have a faster way to add an attachment (or at least a way that feels faster), which is the main thing I use + for, but on the whole a bit "meh." (Does anyone say "meh" anymore?)

carlosgm 77 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I tried to disable the annoying slash notice in notion but there is no way to do it. If they copied the Notion feature, I hope that the people at Evernote don't go down that same path and offer us an alternative to have a clean note to write. It's really annoying and I wish I could go back to the version where my notes were clean and I wrote without distractions. I can't imagine, for example, a Microsoft Word with this intrusive and annoying message. 2 Link to comment

carlosgm 77 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 In Notion, it's understandable to have the "slash /" message permanently because that's how the app was designed from the beginning. In the case of evernote we have +10 years with a clean note and from one day to the next they destroy it. A parameter to hide the "slash /" message would really be great. 4 Link to comment
Boot17 1,452 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Kind of reminds me of the "AI Note Cleanup". They really wanted to showcase that so it took up prime real estate on the toolbar even though (I suspect) the high majority of users didn't use it. Many of us griped about it in the comments (and probably some submitted feedback). Now we see that functionality relegated to a spot that makes more sense -- at least to me. The way that they have the slash command hint text now -- there is absolutely NO WAY you are not going to know about it. So from that standpoint, it's kind of genius. Yeah - a setting to hide it or something would be fantastic. 2 Link to comment

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,965 Posted March 8 Level 5 Share Posted March 8 I didn't get this in the Windows desktop app. But, following advice, I quite Evernote and restarted, and there it is. I'm a little curious to see how I respond to it. I only need to do any of the actions on that / menu fairly uncommonly, apart from adding a note link, which I do by habit with Ctrl+Alt+K. I will try to see if the ever-present / nag is something I can train myself to ignore, to emotionally detach from. Maybe it will be a good exercise for personal growth! 😀 Link to comment

From the blue box, you can tab to other areas of the Evernote Display which might be useful in scripting Evernote to do something. Right now, things are too much in flux to waste any time with this (IMHO). 2 1 Link to comment
Carey_P 3 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The blue box feature is exactly what I needed. Saves two steps in my query script. I used to have to script Ctrl-Alt-F , ESC, Alt-Ctrl-2, and then Ctrl-Q if I was editing in a detached window and wanted to query. Now, just: ESC and Ctrl-Q Excellent! 2 Link to comment

Still doesn't eliminate the / menu when I don't want it. 1 Link to comment

Interesting idea. I always use F2 to get the focus off the note and into the title field. From there I can tab and shift tab to other places. Definitely worth looking at but as you say it could disappear by tomorrow so I'll stick with what I know for the moment. 1 Link to comment

I wasn't aware of using F2. Thanks for that. 1 Link to comment

It helps back the focus out a level in the GUI so that you can tab (or use other keys) to get to other locations in the GUI. I think it may be useful to folks who are using keystroke players to automate Evernote actions. 1 Link to comment

Maybe not elegant, but it works.... Don't make up stuff. In Notion when you type http:// you can pause all you want after the first slash, it won't pop the menu. Link to comment
suethatswho 3 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I agree with folks here, really hoping they'll remove that message "Press '/' for insert an element". It's extremely distracting. 1 Link to comment
