PokerInABox 0 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Just started using evernote and immediately in love. ...how did this take me so long??anyway.. When I type <control> + N for a new note, I would prefer to start by titling the note. Yet the cursor goes right into the body of the note. So I have to reach for my mouse and click on the title. If I'm creating lots of notes very quickly, this can actually slow me down. Is there an option where I can control this somehow? Thanks!Mike Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,147 Posted June 6, 2015 Level 5 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Evernote changed the title entry process a couple years ago. If you type the title into the note area at the top, then continue to add your text underneath, you will see the title automatically appear in the title area. As I pointed out when the change was made, this effectively creates two titles.As I pointed out when the change was made, this effectively creates two titles. It bugged me, but I've learned to live with it.It bugged me, but I've learned to live with it. Other people are not bothered by it.Other people are not bothered by it. Link to comment
Frank.dg 1,385 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 @jbenson2, What's wrong with me. I actually read each line twice @PokerInABox, One way to get around this is to set up your own keyboard shortcut via PhraseExpress (Windows). You can set up a shortcut that includes Ctrl+N and F2 (which opens a new note and moves the cursor to the note title.) You could set this up to override the native Ctrl+N shortcut in Evernote and make sure to have PhraseExpress execute this shortcut only in Evernote ("Execute only in specific program" checkbox) so it doesn't mess with your default browser's shortcuts, etc. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted June 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 7, 2015 As you're using Windows there are also some Registry tweaks that you might look at, including changing the delays on type-ahead search, and starting the cursor off in the right field - ENRegEd is an application developed by experienced Evernote user @spg SCOTT to change some options that don't (yet) have a menu tickbox. It hasn't been updated recently, where Evernote has (a lot) so some of these settings may no longer work - use with caution...https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/64040-windows-enreged-access-evernotes-hidden-registry-settings/Download the latest version (August 2014) here -https://www.evernote.com/shard/s26/sh/da14b58c-c403-46e0-85cc-b734b19496da/e88ba90496f46a77 Link to comment
Frank.dg 1,385 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I can vouch for the ENRedEd utility. I've tweaked a number of things, including "Set New Note Focus to Title" (third option below). This utility allows one a much quicker access to the registry file instead of having to hunt them down. Link to comment
