(Archived) Windows V5: Restore Shortcuts to the Menu Bar

[Kathleen 3]

Can y'all PLEASE put shortcuts back in the menu bar as an option?  Having them in the sidebar completely destroys all functionality I used shortcuts for, as I have to scroll AAAAAALL the way back to the top (and I have a LOT of project notebooks) to get to them, where as with them in the menu bar, I just hit it and went where I needed from wherever I was.  Thank you!

Are you talking about the Windows Metro client or the desktop client?

[Kathleen 3]

The desktop client.  

[jefito 5,589]

Yes, missed by many. I edited your title to make it specific to the desktop.

I second this request. Shortcuts should be located somewhere on the top bar, makes it easy and quick to access. Thanks!

I second this request as well. The favorites bar was frequently used to switch between saved searches for to-dos, and I miss it already after two days with version 5. I would also like to see this in the Mac version, but I guess this is not the right thread for that.

I would love to see this return too.  

It was such a simple, intuitive way of allowing us to customise the desktop -- on an ad-hoc / current-context basis  -- so everything needed was just at hand.

That said, the short-cuts in the sidebar is still an improvement.  What would be optimal would be for the user to have option to use both.

The new design appears to require an open left panel, scrolled all the way to panel top, to access our shortcuts. Such is a big assumption, and a big change from the previous design. How about adding an optional "Shortcuts Toolbar" back along the top?

I'm sure the new design is better for some, but forcing us to change is telling us you know better than we do what it best. 

 

PLEASE give us the choice.

Oh please, yes, put the shortcuts back on the menu bar, it's driving me mental scrolling up and down all the time.
