maiken2051 3 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'd like to suggest a preference setting that allows the user to start new notes in the title rather than the memo body. I like to type a specific title rather than have Evernote take some portion of what I type or paste and make it the title. I always end up clicking on the title to fix it. Thanks! Mike N.

Level 5* gazumped 12,130 Posted June 23, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi - there is a registry setting for this - if you don't feel comfortable changing the registry, 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/e88ba90496f46a77Fixes: (amogst other stuff)Typeahead search freezesCursor going to the body of a note first Link to comment
maiken2051 3 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Awesome, thanks! I just went into the Registry and updated the one setting rather then use the utility. For anyone else disgruntled by this "new note" behaviour, the base Registry key is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Evernote\Evernote The actual value is a DWORD called: SetNewNoteFocusToTitle If you set the value to 1 new notes will start in the title. Thanks again gazumeped! Link to comment
rimboma 36 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 +1for making the suggested behavior default. Or even better, an available preference. I always start by the most importante piece of information which to me is tags. Link to comment
Michael Goulding 49 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 +1 I'd like to see this an option too. I also tried the regedit, but each time it just changed itself back to 0 when creating a new note so didn't work for me. Link to comment
DenisC 0 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thank you, this worked for me. I would also like to be able to Tab out of the title into the note body, will start a new thread. Link to comment
axp037 4 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Great find, thank you for sharing! I second the requests for implementing these settings into Evernote's UI. Link to comment

You need to exit the Evernote program completely (right-click Quit in elephant icon in tray), change the registry item, and then restart the client. If you update it while Evernote is running at all, it won't work. Link to comment
Michael Goulding 49 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thanks Emerick, I thought I was doing that, but clearly not. I just tried it again and it worked a treat. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment
