"Click to add tag" does not allow cancel

[OldGrantonian 18]

If "Click to add tag" does not contain a suitable tag, there's no way to cancel the operation.

 

For example, if I enter "p" and a suitable tag is not available, the topmost tag is added to the selected note. I then need to delete the inserted tag and use Ctrl+Alt+T

 

An empty default slot at the top of the dropdown list would solve the problem.

I don't understand your question. 

 

I could only find 3 ways to add a tag to a note in Windows.

They all have a cancel button.

I I enter "p" and a suitable tag is not available, I just select cancel.

I see what he means... when you open a note in a single window...above the note.

 

Well, why don't you just use  backspace Oldgrantonian?

Thanks for your response  

 

BTW:  I have EN 5.3.1 with Win 7.

 

My attached screenshot shows the option "Click to add tag". I don't see this option in your screenshots.

I have version 5.4.0 with Win 7.

 

I have the same option as you do. I seldom, if ever, use the full screen mode for an individual note. 

 

SebR's suggestion is the correct solution, if you want to add tags while in full screen mode.

Press backspace to clear the P and then Escape.

 

The reason I don't use the full screen note mode is because I use the Evernote Windows Vertical List View. Half of my screen is a view of each individual note. This allows me to see a large portion of my note without expanding it.

Thanks guys.

 

I often wondered what that backspace key did

Escape seems to work for me, regardless of whether a characters have been types or not; no backspace needed.

jefito:  Escape seems to work for me, 

 

And me 

 

I upgraded a few days ago, from 5.1.?. In that version, I'm sure that the following did not work;

1. Escape.
2. Click on any empty area of the screen.

Now, #1 works OK. But #2 still does not work. (The topmost tag is inserted in the note.)

 

I would have thought that #2 is a bug. This is international language for "do nothing".

 

Anyway - Escape is fine  

 

Thanks for all the comments.
