andrewdb3 2 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi Evernote Team, Feature Suggestion for you, it would help to make my life so much easier to be able to access my recent notes quickly and with as few mouse clicks or taps as possible. Love evernote by the way. I suggest a drop-down list of some sort beside the back button at least on the desktop version. This would allow me to quickly go back and forth between the notes I work on. I usually have to use a few during each work session.Thanks, hope this suggestion is helpful, hope you can work on it as soon as possible. It would really help my productivity. Link to comment
andrewdb3 2 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi me again guys, just figured out that I can long press the forward or back buttons to get the recent list I was looking for so problem solved. Link to comment
Brian Woods 16 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Help me understand what you did here andrewdb3 So, if I understand you correctly, you were originally asking for a drop-down option for accessing previous notes on the desktop version. Then you mentioned that you figured out how to achieve this by long-pressing on the forward/back buttons to get to this list. My questions are: 1) Were you asking how to accomplish this on the desktop version or mobile version 2) Since you figured out on your own how to do this, would you please share in more details how you did it. I'm interested in something like this also, thanks in advance. Also, long-pressing is usually on done on mobile devices, so I'm pretty sure that is what you are describing that you did.

Windows? Mac? Also, doesn't the "Recent Notes" section of the left-hand pane already fulfil your request?

BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 In any client, if I'm looking for notes I've recently modified, I sort by the updated date. Link to comment
Brian Woods 16 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 It almost looked like he/she was using a desktop version(not particular sure Windows/Mac), however, when the user pointed out that "I can long press the forward or back buttons to get the recent list", I then was assuming that he/she was using a mobile device. Hopefully they chime in to clear this up. I'm hoping this is on mobile because I can use this type of functionality. Link to comment

Just tried to invoke this on both iPhone and iPad and there is no way to do it. Link to comment

The left hand does seem to list the recent notes if I sort my notes by the "updated" option, just tried that. There is however not explicit "recent notes section", in the same left pane mine just says "reminders". Link to comment

I have to do a quick search. But that feature would be nice though, you could suggest it to the evernote team, i'm others need this feature as well. Link to comment

Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted May 17, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted May 17, 2014 The beauty of what you get on the Windows client (Mac, too, I think) is that you get access to recently *viewed* notes, not just recently updated notes. BTW, this functionality is modelled on that of web browsers. It'd be useful on mobile clients too, for sure. Link to comment
