(Archived) Back and forward buttons

[nununo 0]

Hi,

Several times I am writing in two or more notes stored in different notebooks. Everytime I switch between them I am forced to browse or search for it. It would be much simpler if I had a pair of back/forward buttons like finder and all browsers have. Even better if they'd use the standard macbook three-finger gesture to move back and forward between the notes I'm working on.

Can this be done today? If not, it woud be a great feature.

Thanks,

Nuno

There isn't currently a way to go "back" and "forward" within notes you've viewed, although you could do this by opening them in separate windows and toggling between them with Cmd-`

But why isn't there such a feature today? Is there any reason? Do you have plans to implement it? It's extremely useful and doesn't seem to be hard to implement.

Thanks,

Nuno

Thanks for the suggestion. We don't have that today because no one has written it, and we're generally scared of adding another two buttons to our already-cluttered interface, but we appreciate the feedback.

I have a solution (a bit clunky) but it works.

To link 2 notes together, I paste a unique alpha-numeric password into both documents.

(I use the automatic password generator program in my Roboform menu bar)

Then I have Evernote search for the password and only the 2 documents appear - even if they are in different notebooks.

This allows me to jump back and forth between the documents.

p.s. the password is not for security - it is just a means of linking multiple documents together.

Hi engberg,

I understand :-)

Anyway, since the toolbar is customizable you could even have them hidden after installation, but the 3-finger gesture would still work. I hope you consider this request!

Thank you for your prompt reply and explanation.
