Each copy is encrypted at rest

Is it the case that all notes are encrypted at rest on the Evernote servers? I've not heard that that is the case. Only that text within notes can be encrypted.

I think Evernote will have a huge hack, because that's what happens, karma wise, the companies that treat their customers so bad.

Yesterday I saw that thousands of US hospitals, schools, facilities and government-related instutions had been hacked last year, and a similar problem also for private companies. Can only be a matter of time. Removing all notes with personal information now.

According to the Windows standard, Alt+F4 should close all of the evernote windows, including the main window. It doesn't do this currently; should it? Possibly.

I might raise an enhancement request to have the Alt+F4 functionality corrected. What does everyone think?

Alt+F4 continues to work

Yes, Alt+F4 is a very standard key sequence right from day dot.
Ctrl-W is used as "close one tab not the whole window" in multiple tab screens e.g. Notepad++ (where Ctrl-F4 does not work, to my mild annoyance).

In your browser, Alt+F4 will shut the whole thing - while Ctrl-W closes just the current tab. As to which is closest to the Evernote multi-window approach ... I'm not sure.

Testing with Excel (2010), which is the only multi-window program I can easily put my hands on:
* Ctrl+W and Ctrl-F4 both close the current file/window
* Alt+F4 closes all open windows - surprising (to me).

Would we expect that Alt+F4 behaviour for Evernote? I probably wouldn't, so it goes to show how hard it is to be consistent. What do you reckon, jefito?

Hi,

re "I think I press Esc at times when I want to de-select something" ... I looked for but could not identify a single applications where the Esc key acts to remove a selection.

I tried the browsers, Word, Notepad++, Visual Studio, FileZilla, Foxit Reader, uTorrent, calibre.

Also, I noted that in Keepass the Esc key closes the window unless you have made edits, where it asks, which as we agreed is not an option for Evernote.

Devs, if you do change this, please be sure to make it optional.

Regards, David

An option would be fine, a great idea. But for heaven's sake don't unilaterally change the behaviour without an option.

Many of us totally like the current way it works. Still not sure why you keep pressing the Escape key if you don't want to exit the window, Do you keep pressing other keys you don't mean to? Not being sarcastic, am really genuinely puzzled here.

Current behaviour exactly follows Outlook's. Microsoft actually do a lot of UI experience modelling.

Yes it does 😀

Because in Outlook there is a choice of saving or not saving.

In Evernote it is automatically saved
There is not any possibility of asking the Evernote user whether they wish to save.
So Evernote is equivalent to Outlook with an unedited email i.e. a read-only window.

Both exit on an Escape key.

And Evenote behaves the same as Outlook in this respect of the Escape key, and should remain so.

Not sure what the issue is really, just don't press the key. There are many keys on the keyboard, the Esc is located well out of the way.

Kind regards

David

Click on "Side List" in the options of that icon in the middle of the three icons to the upper right of the main note panel.

Evernote behaves *exactly* the same as Outlook. Why are you not complaining to Microsoft about Outlook then?

Outlook closes an email on Escape, but this doesn't affect the main window. Precisely as Evernote have implemented it.

When my team are developing apps we would look to mimic popular behaviour as this is the most familiar.

Outlook does *not* have an option to control this. I put it to you that Outlook has at least as many users as Evernote.

Android version now has a Dark theme option built in.

Come on Windows team, you can do it! Steal their code.

Hi AchillesThunder,

Looks like Outlook 2016? Try right-clicking around the ribbon area until you can get a pop-up with "Customise the Ribbon". Then look for the Evernote in the right hand side. It is probably going to be under Home (something). May have to expand some of the items until you locate it. But it certainly should be in there somewhere. Once you find it, Remove will solve this.

I vote against this suggestion. The Escape key to close is something I have enjoyed from the early days and continue to use all the time. Please ensure this valuable feature is not lost.

If you don't have a 20-year-old's eyes, the colour of the icon is a critical part of identifying it. At my normal viewing distance I cannot make out all the detail on the elephant such as the eye, the ear. Please consider the wide range of all your users and not just base it on the particular features of your UI designer. Please add an option for a green elephant or a green background to him.

Many thanks, David

I believe the problem is not particular to Evernote's, but afflicting all common software.

I just knocked up a quick HTML page with text in Verdana font size 14 pt and blue colour.

Opened it in Firefox IE and Chrome, copied the text and pasted into Word.

All three had completely different outcomes.

Firefox ended up as black Times New Roman 12.

IE as black Verdana 11

Chrome as Verdana 14 blue bold.

Probably Chrome was the most accurate. Amusing that Microsoft IE cannot paste acurately into Microsoft Word.

I use Steve Miller's PureText all the time. It's the best way to paste as plain text. Let the destination control the formatting.

If you are genuinely concerned for the possibility of someone "when the owner is away to lunch with a Boot DVD like Hiren, Ultimate BootCD" accessing your machine, whole-disk encryption is the answer. It is available in Windows versions above Professional. Then only the NSA will be able to break in.

If I may suggest, it would be great to add a new checkbox under Tools > Options > Note, "Confirm delete from keyboard".

After reading the comments above, it seems that the keyboard Del key is the source of the problem. By making the "Confirm delete" apply only to the Del key, and not affect the deletion using the Delete/Trash icon on the toolbar, this should keep everyone happy.

Should satisfy all these groups:

- Delete cautious or Delete rarely (won't have the Delete/Trash icon visible on their toolbar)

- Delete middle of the road (may have Trash icon), and may tick the tickbox

- Delete carefree (will have Trash icon visible and will have checkbox unticked)

Finally, when creating a new installation, please set the new checkbox ticked, but don't worry about existing users; just announce it in the release notes, so they can tick it if they want.

Thanks for a great product, EN team.

to not require an extra line space between a bulleted list and the text that precedes it.  Why not be able to adjust the spacing that occurs before the bulleted list?  Why must a bulleted list have that extra line space preceding it?  Thx.

This is very much the natural behaviour of browser rendering engines since forever. Nothing specific to Evernote, all HTML bullet lists have always done this. Just as annoying as ever. Can be overriden with particular css style.

Save the following as a .htm file and double-click it to see.

Here is some text

<ul>

<li> Item

<li> Item 2

</ul>
