(Archived) How to move to note with Keyboard

[Edan Maor 4]

Hi,

I've just upgraded to the new Mac version of Evernote (5). I'm really loving it!

I have one problem, which I can't seem to solve: After using the "search" to look for a note, how do I move to that note without using the mouse? Similarly, how do I move from the Notebook list on the left, to the open note?

This is driving me crazy, as my default path is: Search for title of note I need -> Look at the excellent suggestions, pick the appropriate one -> Starting working on it. But I can't do the third step because I can't get out of the search box!

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Edan

Type your search

Cursor down to the search result you want

Hit enter/return and your note will load

Once you have selected a notebook in the list, the top note is already selected - just cursor up and down.

Hi Metrodon,

Thanks for answering!

The problem is, after I search and hit "enter", the focus is stil in the search box, not in the note window. Which means that, for example, pressing cursor down will open more search results. Or trying to type something into the note will type it in the search box.

What am I missing?

What I suggested allows you to open a note from the suggested, recent and saved searches.

You are correct, if you run a search and hit enter then the focus remains in the search box.

We should fix this. Thanks for bringing it up.

I had raised the same exact problem in Aug:

To me (and I am admittedly one of those keyboard bigots) this is a major problem. Hopefully the dev team can look at it sometimes soon.

Any updates on this? This will be v v useful keyboard shortcut.

This is solved in the new version, as far as I know.

 

After searching and hitting enter, your keyboard is focused on the list of notes.
