goutos19 3 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I don't understand why in the latest update of the Evernote desktop client you have statically changed the hotkeys. I want to be able to set my own hotkeys. I also want to be able to determine what things get autoformatted in a note. I do want asterisks to change into bullet points, but I don't want a sequence of dashes to change into a horizontal rule. These options should be opened up so the user can customize, just like in Adobe Photoshop. I love setting my own hotkeys and using them in Photoshop, it makes me so much more productive. If you did this it would make Evernote much more pleasurable to use. 1 Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,066 Posted March 7, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi. You seem to be talking about the autoformat process that creates lists and lines based on your typing. Some OS's now include an option to switch that off in Settings. If you are talking about keyboard shortcuts, have a look at some of the options here in Evernote's Help Center Link to comment
goutos19 3 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi, thanks. Yes I'm glad I can toggle the autoformatting for lists and lines, but in my preferences on Mac, I can only toggle them all as a group, with a checkbox for "Keyboard shortcuts automatically create lists, lines, and emojis". I'm just saying I wish I could choose which items get autoformatted. Same with keyboard shortcuts, I wish they were like Photoshop where you can define your own shortcuts. This way the features you use can be linked to convenient or intuitive key combos. Link to comment

I agree it would be helpful if Evernote would provide us with more Preferences/Options so that we can customize the Evernote app to our liking. Until/IF that happens, and if you need stuff like autoformatting of specific stuff a lot, then it may be worthwhile for you to invest in tools like TextExpander and/or Keyboard Maestro (for the Mac). I have both, and use both of them many times a day. Link to comment

That's on Windows; it may be different on Mac. On Windows, the formatting shortcuts can't be customized. Link to comment

Michael Kolak 2 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have similar problem - i have 10.4 version, which is supposed not to have many shortcuts known from previous version. Unfortunately, it has. An example - shortcut alt-s, which in my county is dedicated to one of local signs, still work in my 10.4 fresh installation as print screen capture (there was no evernote on this host before). In previous version (on other computer) i could disable this shortcut. In 10.4 version, I can do nothing with this. Please, restore Tools --> Options --> Shortcuts immediately. I have no access to this using 10.4 version of Evernote for Windows 10. 2 Link to comment

pgielzak 7 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Ok This is a menace. Everytime i press ALT + S to do "Ś" in my language, Evernote makes a screenshot! This is absurd. Work on customizable keyboard shortcuts or option tu shut them off completely. Thank you 2 Link to comment
pgielzak 7 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hello again! Now when we have shortcuts options it would be very nice to make them ALL customizable. It would be very appreciated. 2 Link to comment
RobLewis 26 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 This is driving me crazy! On Mac v. 10.9.10, I can't figure out how to stop creating checkboxes when I type "[]" or even "[ ]". Insane! This is seriously impacting my use of this product, that I rely on daily. 😡 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,807 Posted March 21, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted March 21, 2021 The shortcut is not editable. Solution 1: Don't type it Solution 2: Don't type a space, return/enter or tab behind it Solution 3: Type a dot behind it (or any other character, except (2) Else issue a support ticket.
