Oddible 3 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 In the Windows version of Evernote there seems to be a hotkey problem. Currently my New Note hotkey is set to CTRL-ALT-N. However if I have Evernote open when I press ALT-N in any other app (on international keyboards, this is the key to get the ñ character) it does not print the ñ but instead opens a new Evernote note. It seems that Evernote is opening a new note regardless of the absence of the CTRL key.Not sure if this is just an OS issue or if it is in the way that Evernote has registered the key listener in Windows.

Level 5 Wern 244 Posted July 26, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted July 26, 2012 You can change the hotkey for opening a new note to your liking:Tools >> Options >> Hot keys >> new note Link to comment
Oddible 3 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 You can change the hotkey for opening a new note to your liking:Tools >> Options >> Hot keys >> new notePerhaps you just read the title and didn't read my post. The problem is that I DID change my hotkey to CTRL-ALT-N but Evernote is still capturing ALT-N as well.Actually, now that I think of it I wish I could change the title to this post. It really has nothing to do with the international keyboard, and everything to do with a bug in Everynote's hotkey capture system. Link to comment
M3v4 0 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I have the same problem and it really gets on my nerves. Please fix this bug ASAP! Interesting that it has never been fixed since 2012... If it is not a bug then at least allow to modify this shortcut as for now I cannot type proper polish while using evernote and get very annoyed by this. Link to comment
Świstak 2 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Ok. The problem here is that "right alt" used for diacritics is really emmiting ctrl+alt. This is a legacy behaviour going back all the weay to Windows 95. Evernote developers do not know that aparently and decided to assign ctrl+alt+n to one of more popular diacritics. But honestly they are not the only ones. Google Docs has same problem, and many many others do. Just change the key bindings, or go back in time and kick anyone who thought it's a grand idea to make "alt gr" emit "ctrl+alt" For reference: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/AltGr_key Link to comment
