guycruls 3 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hello,I use Evernote in Window Vista and Windows 7 quite a bit.I often need to insert special characters but never try, because the facility doesn't seem to be there.Isn't it time we had a shortcut in the toolbar?Click icon in toolbar and dialog pops up showing most common special characters.Surely not such a tall order, technically?ThanksGuy Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted March 8, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 8, 2013 In Windows you can always use the Character Map program (see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/using-special-characters-character-map-frequently-asked-questions), which is part of Windows. A little clumsy, because you need to copy/paste from Character Map into Evernote, but at least it works, and it's there now. Link to comment

Level 5* gazumped 11,667 Posted March 8, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 8, 2013 Surely not such a tall order, technically? Possibly not, but Evernote have a lot of users to support, operate on multiple platforms and dozens of languages, and already have a full calendar of updates and upgrades that will probably last until 2020. Fitting even a small change into the programme (unless it's already been scheduled there) is kind've like interrupting the countdown to an Apollo launch with "Guys - why don't we go to Mars this time instead..." There have been lots of calls for upgrades to the note editor though - maybe there's something in the pipeline. Link to comment
