  1. Omg. How have I never noticed that. That does significantly reduce the pain! I suppose it's still a minor thing worth fixing (great one for the programming intern) but I'm satisfied with just finding the previous / next entity to jump me back. Thanks @Mike P!
  2. Thanks for testing! I can't tell from your screenshot though whether it's a long note. My issue applies to long notes where I might be hundreds of lines scrolled down. So, if you add a bunch of Lorem Ipsums above your test material (or copy-paste the same thing a buncha times), does it still search from your cursor in Windows?
  3. I'm on version 10.76.2 for Mac but I suspect this could be a cross-platform issue. I've noticed this issue for many years but just dealt with the annoyance—but it's becoming a bigger nuisance as I use longer notes on a daily / hourly basis. There are 2 problems actually, and they are related. When you try to search for something in your note using the "Find in note" tool (Command+F in Mac), it searches from the top of the note, not where the cursor is. This is really annoying when I'm looking for specific terms or trying to highlight repeated terms in a list or table or paragraph or braindumped blob I'm working in—I have to scroll all the way back down to find where I was. Editors as far back as I remember (even Windows Notepad) all start their search where the cursor is, or at least where the top of the viewport is. I just tested on TextEdit and Atom and IntelliJ IDEA just to confirm—yep, none of them start the search at the beginning of the file. So Evernote's behavior is surprising. There's a related issue, but it could be solved by solving the above. When I want to search a term, say, _foobar_, on the very first keypress of the "f", Evernote goes and finds the first "f" in the entire note. Who is searching for a single letter in a note? At least if the search didn't begin from the top, I'd be able to keep my view where I was while I type more letters. So fixing #1 would actually make this a non-problem. I think fixing #1 is a better use of resources than adding debouncing (_e.g._ waiting 200ms for another keypress before finding) or removing the automatic find (as opposed to waiting for "Enter") behavior. That's all. Minor annoyances aside, Evernote is a great product, hope to see it continue to improve.
  4. Hello, I agree—it was weird to me that the note's contents would be in focus first. Workaround #1 I found that pressing <F2> moves your cursor to the title field. Workaround #2 Personally, I run AutoHotkey (free download). I added the following to my script so that Ctrl+N would not only create a new note, but press <F2> automatically as well. #IfWinActive, ahk_class ENMainFrame ^n:: SendInput ^n Sleep 100 SendInput {F2} Return#IfWinActiveIf it's not working, try increasing the 100. That's the number of milliseconds to wait between Ctrl+N and <F2>—you may have to wait longer than I do if you're running a slower PC. Hope this helps someone.
