allendick 103 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 One of the most useful functions for me in Legacy has been the clipper. Not the web clipper, which is useful and remains, but the clipper that could select any screen area in any window and would instantly put that clip into Evernote as a note, or, if control was held, into the clipboard, or if shift was held, into a file on the desktop. I used that feature multiple times a day and have not found anything that comes close to replacing that one-step convenience in the current versions. Is there any way to duplicate that simple two-step function without going through multiple steps? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,066 Posted April 24 Level 5* Share Posted April 24 On my Win 11 keyboard Win+Shift+S gives me screenshot options which can be posted into a note. Or for partial content Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V will copy and paste selected text. Alt+Ctrl+N is the global command for 'new note' So Win+Shift+S - Alt+Ctrl+N - Ctrl V is as close as you can get. It should be possible to shorten the sequence in AHK or Phrase Express. (There was a process at one stage to save a clip directly as a note using Win+Shift+S but that doesn't seem to work in my latest version) Link to comment
VincentC 347 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 And to elaborate a tiny bit on @gazumped's comment, on my Win 11 system the Win+Shift+S command puts the clipped area into the clipboard all by itself. So it's very easy to paste the info where it's needed. Not quite the same thing, but a function that I use multiple times a day myself, and I find myself not missing the function built into Evernote that Win 11 has hijacked -- at least not enough to spend many of my own brain's CPU cycles worrying about it. Of course, other may differ. Vinnie 1 Link to comment
allendick 103 Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Thanks. All this requires complex keyboard moves and is a bother for those of us who prefer to slouch rather than sit erect in typing position and to use the mouse and voice as much as possible. I guess it is what it is, though. 1 Link to comment

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted April 24 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 24 I made the Windows directory that captures screen clips into an import folder. So, for me, Win+Shift+S creates a new note containing the clipped areas. 2 Link to comment

allendick 103 Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 > I made the Windows directory that captures screen clips into an import folder. So, for me, Win+Shift+S creates a new note containing the clipped areas. I assume that after Win Shift S, that one must save the clip into that directory? > Alt+Ctrl+N is the global command for 'new note' That only works with Evernote in the frergound, for me, anyhow. 1 Link to comment
Solution allendick 103 Posted April 24 Author Solution Share Posted April 24 OK. This works. WIN + SHIFT + S ALT + CTRL + V Clips and selection and puts the clip into a new note without even opening Evernote. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,807 Posted April 24 Level 5 Share Posted April 24 @s2sailor at least the menu bar helper with the screen clipper works on all MacOS versions - opposite to Win11. 1 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,807 Posted April 25 Level 5 Share Posted April 25 ctrl-cmd-N brings up the EN helper from the toolbar, as a global shortcut. Link to comment
