How can we [evernote users] create table of contents easily and efficiently for multiple notes now?
If I understand you correctly, all you need to do is select the desired notes, copy the app links (ctrl-opt-cmd-C), create new note, and paste in the set of internal links.

Command-tilde (cmd-~) is working fine for me with mac EN 10.6.9 — just remember that the page must be in "normal" view, rather than full-page view. This applies equally to multiple windows in other mac apps.
-
EN 10.6.9 works reasonably well on mac M1, with slightly faster note rendering than 3, 6, 9-year-old Intel mac's.
What, exactly, is the problem you are having?
Optimization for a brand new platform is the least of my concerns.

It's possible to create a new button in the mac Share Menu for sending a file to EN 10+. It works for all the file types I have tried, including password-protected files.
1. Create an new address in your Contact list, with the address corresponding to your unique EN email (shown in your Account Info) - e.g. call it "Mail to Evernote"
2.Right-click the item you want to Share, and select Share
3. Click the "Send In Mail" option in your Share Menu
4. Address to "Mail to Evernote"
5. Send
--------------
Your Share Menu will now contain a new Recent Item called “Mail to Evernote"
To streamline the process (as noted elsewhere by one of our EN gurus—I don't recall who), you can even save the material with a note title, notebook name and tags by editing the Subject line of the email using the following format:
Subject: YOUR NOTE TITLE HERE @YOURNOTEBOOKNAME #YOURTAGNAME

1. The note scroll bar is very faint (even for people with good eyesight), and doesn’t conform to typical mac format (for example, the scroll bar for the note list).
2.. The scroll bar is too narrow.
3. The scroll bar should change to a darker color when the cursor hovers over it, showing that the bar can be active when clicked.
4. The cursor arrow is unusually small, making selection of the bar very tricky, and typically causing the cursor to switch to changing the width of the window (not every user has perfect dexterity).

With v7 of Evernote for Mac, I could easily sort Notes in columns like "Create" to have either the oldest or the newest Notes be at the top. I would do that by clicking on the header (such as Created) and it would reverse the order. top to bottom.
Works fine for me with EN 10.6.9.

I will try installing EN and WC on it - and will hope for the best...
Just beware that unless you are simply transferring all your files from another machine, a fresh installation of EN on a "virgin" machine can take some time to build the database (days, in my case).

When will M1 compatibility fixed?
I'm not sure your issue is with the M1 mac. Are you working with a brand new machine, without all your old EN files? If so, EN has to install a completely new database in the "~/Library/Application Support" folder. Depending on the amount of data, this can take a long time, and EN performance can be temporarily impaired.
(I have a hunch that changes in the database may be the source of some of the performance problems that have been reported after moving to EN 10+, including downloading app updates from the App store versus directly from EN).

This stopped working in Windows 6.25.1 and if I read the forums does not work in the Windows V10.
I'm referring to macOS 11.1, EN 10.6.9.
I don't do Windows.

Your example is showing web links
If I highlight and copy the "testing links" text, then paste it into a Pages document the link retains the title "testing links", which is just what I need (rather than the cryptic string of characters: evernote:///view/xyz..). Try it for yourself; it works.
(When I pasted in the png of my note, EN must have created a live web link on the discussion thread--not my intention)..

Place a link in another app and have the desktop version of EN display it when clicked
Surely the following approach already works for creating a link in common mac app's:
ctrl-alt-cmd-C
If you paste the link on the clipboard into the note itself the link text takes on the actual title of the note. Now if you copy this link into your external document it will retain the actual title.
An example:

For my part, progress is a little uneven but each new version seems to be a little better than the last.
Agreed. My main concern is that the EN 10 updates seem to have focused more on adding features than on basic stability and operability. I only hope that adding more features is not confounding the efforts to achieve stability.
(For me, one of the priceless features retained in EN 10+ is Version History, since I use EN as my main work environment. EN is my second brain.)

After a fresh installation it will take a while (sometimes a long while) before all the text in PDFs is searchable even though the individual note already exists. In fact, I use this test as a way of determining whether the installation is complete. I recommend leaving the app open all the time, so that it can "do its stuff".

i am definitely seeing zippier performance and less CPU usage with the latest update to mac EN 10.6.9.

I am finding no problems that are specific to the mac M1 platform.
What exactly are you seeing?
macOS 11.1
EN 10.6.9

Have you tried to uninstall the app - completely, really removing all traces by using the app AppCleaner ?
I agree that this may be the most rigorous approach, but would caution users that completely rebuilding a database can a LONG time if you have lots of notes, so patience is required before EN performs at its full potential.

Safari/Web Clipper is working perfectly for me on an M1 mac and an older Intel one running macOS 11.1.
Is EN behaving normally, apart from web-clipping?
Is WC working for other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera?
Presumably you have tried uninstalling the Safari WC extension, downloading a fresh copy of the WC app, and then re-installing on Safari? This worked for me a few months ago when Safari/WC was misbehaving (macOS 10.15.7).

All my previous PDF attachments are still present with Mac EN 10.6.9, and new ones can be created after update to this version.
Searching for text in the database correctly pulls up all the notes with the appropriate attachments. However, this apparently only works while online: all the notes are still visible offline, but search will not find them.
I am not clear what EN support was referring to.

Is M1 compatibility fixed? Your software is beyond absolutely useless on any new Mac. Mine has gone from being slow AF to now not even opening.
Once the database was downloaded (about a week) my new M1 Macbook Air has performed well. I checked the time to sequentially load the body of 10 notes with sizeable contents and consistently got an average of 1.5 s per note. An old (9years) imac performed better at 1 s per note.
Overall, EN 10.5.7 performance has been decent for me. However, every time I have to shut down the app and then re-launch (M1 and Intel mac) the app freezes or operates glacially, taking at least a couple of hours before working properly. (I haven't submitted a Support Ticket).

Maybe network issues play into the speed, and probably the same raw size will load faster when comprised of larger notes.
My largest note is 23 MB. If there are network problems they must be at the server end.
This pace of download was identical when I recently did s clean install on a new mac. On the mac, using "Activity Monitor" the download process would often stop or do a MB in an hour. Interestingly, last year, when I had to do a clean install of Legacy on a mac the download proceeded much faster.
Prior to upgrade, in two mac's the Legacy version was in one location, but the upgrade automatically installed in ~/Library/Application Support which took about a week. It seems plausible that this requirement to slowly generate a new database may have been responsible for many users' initial problems with blank notes after upgrading to EN 10+.
-
For me, the process was VERY slow, so patience is required. After nearly a week with the app running the offline note contents are still gradually downloading.
Checking the "iPAd Storage" section of the ipad shows that EN takes up nearly 15 GB, which is getting close to the size of my database on my DT mac. (I have 32K+ notes). I'll continue to leave the app open.
-
Using EN 10.2, download of my two largest notebooks on iPad stalled for me (about one third of note contents missing offline). Updating to EN 10.3 had no effect on the large notebooks, but the smaller notebooks have now started to download. The size of the database has increased by less than a GB in a couple of days, so it looks as though I'm in for a long wait, but I'll continue to leave the app open continuously and see what happens.
At least for me, offline access to my content is much more important with my iPad than with DT mac.

Coming Soon:
- Table editing
- Apple Watch support
- Search in PDF filesThanks, Shane.
I hope the PDF search capability will be restored for the mac DT version, too.

I'm in a similar situation, with 10+K notes in my "Literature" notebook, alone. There was probably a good reason for this design change (e.g. reduced bandwidth for complex notes?), but I hope that the option of a global full-view setting will be restored at some point.
From Ian Small's recent video, I get the sense that the company is more interested in adding or restoring "features" than fixing the terrible problems that many users are having in getting even minimal functionality with EN 10+.
Still loving EN (it's like a life-support system for someone with a declining memory), and keeping my fingers crossed that EN doesn't lose too many paying customers due to the debacle.

I don't observe a problem with automatic sync with mac EN 10.6.9.
