Request: ALT+Shift+Arrow Keys Move Lines Up/Down within Note

Recommended Posts

Before Evernote, Microsoft Word was my go-to tool for keeping notes, working through ideas, and outlining simple projects. Evernote is great and I am using it more and more for keeping track of things I want to remember. However, there are a few simple features of Microsoft Word that I really miss. Among those, the number one thing that keeps me using Word is the ability to quickly move lines up and down the page with the keyboard shortcut ALT+SHIFT+up/down arrow keys. So simple! Please, Evernote, add this functionality to Notes pages in Evernote for Windows!

 

Thanks.

Yup - said it before (many times) - the Editor is long overdue for an upgrade;  I sympathise with Evernote to a degree - 

 

1) Whatever they implement has to work on many different platforms and multiple OS's,  and

2) Evernote isn't meant to be a word processor anyway,  and

3) I hate bloat and multiple menus

 

Premium members can now include Word documents that get indexed like PDFs,  and anyone can produce drafts in Word and copy/ paste the text into a note alongside the embedded Word file,  so there are workarounds..

 

But I hope something is in the pipeline.

There are so many things I miss in the evernote editor that its just sad.

 

1. Table formatting (just something other than the thick black lines)

2. Plugin architecture

    - just imagine what a workflowy, calca, markdown plugin could bring to this eco system

3. simple editing methods like up+down of lines, shift characters, indentation of a list of checkboxes....

One of the Evernote devs confirmed yesterday (unusually) that they're actively working on 1) and 3) as we speak.  

 

2) already exists - see the Evernote API and Evernote App Center (see below);  up to external developers what they do with that...

That is brilliant news!  The ability to move lines up & down is the one thing I really miss since migrating from OneNote...

That was weeks ago,  and improvements have already been delivered on most clients - its an ongoing process so no doubt there will be more...
