Steve jjjjjjjj 4 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Damn the "Press '/' for insert an element" is annoying. I sent an e-mail to feedback@evernote.com to give them my opinion too. are why is there not an explanation of what that message even mean? I use Evernote daily and if they think it is such a useful feature that is is worth sticking it in our face to replace the cursor, I think they should tell us about what it is and why it is so important that it needs to be pushed so aggressively on us. You'd think it'd be a lifesaving or life-altering feature the way they are rolling this out. 4 Link to comment
LaFlamme 79 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Thank God I found you all. Thought I was imagining things and that the "insert element" clutter must have been there all along. It follows me around like a stray cat from one line to the next. 3 2 Link to comment

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,960 Posted March 13 Level 5 Share Posted March 13 @jjjjjjjjjjjjjikhkl and others who are just coming to v. 10 from Legacy, just FYI the / popup is not an original feature of v. 10. It only showed up in the last week or two. Hopefully they are getting our feedback@evernote.com and will refine this. E.g. make it work with Ctrl+/ Alt+/, not every / you type; and assume that after the first 5 minutes, we've got the idea and don't need the reminder. EDIT: Ctrl+/ is already in use to access the keyboard shortcut list/dialog. 4 Link to comment

Korben Dallas 1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I have submitted the same type of feedback in hopes they remove the constant reminder of Press "/" to insert and element.

In my experience, the Web client tends to get updated faster than the desktop. That's often where I learn that there is a new version. The desktop "check for updates" function is often days, sometimes many days, behind the actual release of the update, since they roll it out gradually across the userbase. You can always download the latest version from evernote.com/download. The filename will be "Evernote-newest"; you have to check the file properties to get the actual version number.🙄 Link to comment

RichardThomas 25 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Help me solve the problem, maybe I just don’t know how. Despite blocking updates, my Evernote was updated today. And my AI banner closes the menu. I can't move it, I can't do anything with it. In the guide it was written that it was movable, but this is not so. Help. This shiny thing on the right, you've probably seen the same thing in yours. (I can't find where to switch the application language for better display on the forum.) Link to comment

christiandemink 0 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Do you know how long it usually takes for a new version to be available when you click "check for updates..." in the app itself? Mine recently updated to 10.80.3 and is running SOO slow. Hoping the latest version is faster. Thanks! Link to comment
Razmataz 218 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 BTW: Even though I am happy that the slash command can be hidden now (and is still stays active), I was surprised to find the switch on the … menu of a note. Evernote calls is "of the note editor", but look at the other options of that menu: all specific to this particular note! Thus, my fear was that they made the switch note specific. No, they did not, it carries over to other notes. This is good! But I submit that it is a bad choice to put he option/switch onto this menu. It has little to do with the note open (except that it affects it, too). It should have gone to the global options of EN. But for some inexplicable reason (to me), they abhor those settings. Option are dispersed now to all parts of EN. YMMV. 2 Link to comment
LaFlamme 79 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I'm forced to use the web interface since the Evernote team bailed on the Linux client. So far, I don't have that "slash command" section in my menu.

Razmataz 218 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Sorry, right. No switch in the web version yet. I wonder if the setting (in one client) will carry over to others, such as the web access. I think it should. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,117 Posted March 21 Level 5 Share Posted March 21 With settings it is simple: The settings done in a client usually are changing only the behavior in that client. Settings done in the account information pages affect the app in general, some affect only the web client that has no other settings options. Link to comment
Korben Dallas 1 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 For those in the web client, the option is now available. I kept looking in "Settings" but you have to click on the three dots, "..." in the upper right hand corner of the editor. It should be right above the "AI EDIT" button. When you click on that you will see a drop down menu with an option called "Slash commands". Click on that and you will see an option to "Hide inline hint". Hope that helps people who were having a hard time finding it in the web client. 1 Link to comment

I left Evernote for Obsidian when Evernote was sold to bendingspoons, b/c I thought it was the end after many false starts and promises. Obsidian is good, the developers are responsibe, and the community is great at building a bunch of useful plug ins, but in the end I found it all too "technical" for me and I really never warmed to the UI. Recently I had a quick look at Evernote again and I must say I am impressed. I like the developers and they seem very responsive. They are evolving things imho in a positive way, and things like the "/" and the AI block are easy to ignore (well at least the / is now that you can hide it). I'm back, got a big discount on my first year of personal and enjoying being back in the fold. 3 1 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,117 Posted April 3 Level 5 Share Posted April 3 It seems you are not forced to endure it any longer. If you find the setting, you can make the grey text go away. The "/" commands stay, however ... Link to comment
jrdunson 21 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 Hey - this is still issues - and the new 'customize' setting doesn't work. I found this (see picture below). I set it via a note on my home laptop... and it seemed at first to work... as it made the '/' invisible However --1) it doesn't fix my pop -up problem... ever time I press '/' the menu pops up then, hides, pops-up, then hides, then pops-up, then hides... This is a real issue for me because I use the / backwards slash for in multiple ways... The v10.79 update did this as a supposed benefit... but for me it is a real issue for me... can you ** Please ** allow me to disable the popups and/or remove this feature? 2) Second, making the '/' invisible doesn't carry over other devices... re: in my work laptop, the '/' still visible...

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,960 Posted April 5 Level 5 Share Posted April 5 @jrdunson, as you may have noticed by reading through the thread: These are user-to-user forums, so you are not addressing Evernote with the request to fix the issue. You can do so at feedback@evernote.com. The menu option (also available through the ... menu at top right of a note) is to show or hide the inline hint that (if shown) appears at the beginning of every new paragraph. It's working as intended. I can absolutely understand the desire to disable the thing. I use it sometimes, but I don't see that it does anything that I can't do almost as conveniently by other means, with the inconvenience of the popup on the relatively rare occasions I type a /. Clearly it needs more work. 1 Link to comment
User_1984984989845 0 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It worked! I removed it after an update today! Took a few tries. Click on Note, then on slash commands, as shown above, then turned it on and off a few times, made a new note using the slash command, turned it on and off and the Press "/" disappeared! YA!

jrdunson 21 Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Dave, thanks... however, what I've experienced....is that sending info to feedback@evernote.com is basically a dead end. The recipients don't respond. I am a Premium supporter - it seems like evernote should have better customer support. I've also noticed another 'pop-up' 'hint' that is an issue... that is, when I highlight paragraph, a pop-up called 'AI Edit' appears... this is also an annoying feature... that I would like to disable... i don't need the pop-up for every paragraph or note I take... It seems that the developers just add thing - ** assuming ** that users will like it... and present them as 'great new features' When it fact, it just makes some us to want to go else where... to do note-taking or writing ... Why can 'new features' be optional? Jarrell Link to comment

If their feedback mailbox is not connected to their ticket system, don't expect much.. or anything. Some of these mailboxes are just queues for when someone has time to look at them. Link to comment

Yeah, there's at least one whole separate thread on that one. What a pain, and so utterly pointless with the big button sitting right on the toolbar. 1 Link to comment
Cristiano Teibel 1 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Thank you. I went to the trouble of registering to this forum to appreciate the response on how to remove the grey "/" comment on every blank line. Thank you again. I was annoyed and disturbed. It's also good to know that i was not alone on this. 1 Link to comment
Bear65 6 Posted Thursday at 05:51 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:51 PM Here is the fix To hide the inline hint in Evernote, you can select Note > Slash Commands > Hide Inline Hint from the menubar at the top of your screen. And I think you also have to be updated to at least version 10.85.4 Link to comment

Given that the solution is buried in the middle of what looks like a 100 + long thread, I don't see any harm in having the solution posted again at the end. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,117 Posted Thursday at 10:50 PM Level 5 Share Posted Thursday at 10:50 PM And I see no harm in reminding you that we should not extend threads with repetitive information - and avoid double positing of the same information in different threads as well. I see your intention to do good, but in effect it makes already long threads longer, without adding anything new. Link to comment
