The problem is that many of the shortcuts only work in certain contexts and even then not always reliably. alt-ctrl-5 seems to work for me in all the different places I've tried. The numbers have recently changed in order to reserve alt-ctrl-1 for the new Home page currently in beta. The documentation obviously hasn't been updated. ctrl-alt-5 doesn't work for me but 2, 4, and 6 do. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I would certainly try them when you are in edit mode and not in edit mode. (Look to see if the edit tool bar is at the top of the note).

They changed it in October so that using the web is counted as a device. See

The alternative to right clicking is to use the three dots menu to the right of the notebook or stack.

I'm happy with that as an option but I actually prefer the current behaviour because I don't want lots of extraneous notes showing up. To use your examples my tags would be structured notes-meeting and notes-call so that all my notes tags are together. The other alternative would be to use the edit tags menu (alt-ctrl-T) which does give you a "proper" search rather than a "starting with" style search.

The nearest is the main tag window which you get to by clicking the tag icon or using alt-ctrl-5. Not the same though.

Completely agree and there have been lots of comments in the forums. There is no point in having a nice secure filing cabinet if you can't get stuff out of it. The best work around is to drag the attachment or image from the note onto the Windows desktop and from there into wherever you want it. Definitely a temporary workaround not a long term solution.

The tag functionaility in the sidebar is very much reduced. The only things you can do is select a tag for filtering (although unless the sidebar is minimised you will get all the sub tags as well) or drag a tag onto a note in the note list to assign it to the note. All the main tag tasks are now done in the main tags window (click the tag icon or use alt-ctrl-5). You can't currently assign tags by dragging and dropping from this window - although you have been able to in earlier versions of V10- you never know with EN whether this functionaility was deliberately or accidentally removed.

Neither do I. There are additional headers as you scroll down, not just the one at the top, but if you have a reasonable number of notes in each cataegory you don't really see this. If there was a some sort of collapse function where you just saw the headers and clicked an arrow to open that category that might be quite nice.

It's so subtle it's difficult to see. Directly underneath the "notes" in the note list you will see a month and year if sorted by one of the date options or a letter if sorted by title.

You may be right it could be a technical or some other issue. The beta of the new home page does definitely have additional functionaility for premium users only so I'm not rulling out differences in functionaility based on platform and/or user type.

https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/218558068-Understanding-the-device-limit Evernote web now counts as a device and is included in the two devices that basic users are allowed. However on re-reading the rules as long as you never sign into Evernote web you can use the desktop version and a mobile version. I used to use Evernote web at work (because of limitations on what I could install on my work PC) and also EN for Android and EN desktop at home. I suspect this is not uncommon. In that scenario, with two devices you might want to use EN web and a mobile in which case your functionality will be reduced. For the record and as a long standing premium user, I have no problem with encouraging non-casual users to become premium members! same or similar?

I can't see it either. There are a few examples where the web version seems to have slightly less functionaility than the desktop versions. It might be a technical issue but I suspect that, with new device limits, it is to avoid anybody, other than a casual user, being happy with just mobile + web.

Interesting. You are right the facility to select multiple notes does not seem to be in the web version. Given that the web and desktop version are on pretty much the same version numbers and that selecting multiple notes has been in the desktop version for some time I suspect this is by design. I have no idea whether this is a technical limitation or a deliberate attempt to reduce the functionaility of the web version.

I think there is a more general issue here. There are a number of times where you will want to go from a note to the notebook where that note is found. This is obviously when you have not found the note simply by scrolling through the notebook You may have got to that note by for example: Clicking a shortcut Search Clicking an internal link Using all notes Some of these hide the note list but some don't. EN have provided a simple way of getting to the notebook through the notebook icon but that takes you to the top of the notebook not to the selected note. This means you can't see the note in context. Simply changing the behaviour so that it went to the note selected in the notebook would be a big step forward.

I don't understand why EN think this behaviour is sensible! I do not know of a way of getting the note list back while staying in the note you have selected. If you just want the notelist back you can click all notes or a notebook in the sidebar.

As I understand it, it is because of customer feedback. Making it more central means less mouse movement on bigger screens and makes it more consistent with the mobile versions. Personally I never use it unless I really have to because there are quicker ways of adding nearly all the elements. Just maybe I don't want to create a 2x2 table and have to go through the pain of inserting columns and rows.

I can reproduce this. I hope that it is a bug (there are alot in 10.5.7). It is certainly illogical that you can drag a note into a notebook on the sidebar unless the notebook happens to be in a stack.

The two issues may not be related. There has been a long standing problem of images being lost when merging. You think it's worked and then you come back to it and one is missing. The fundamental purpose of a note taking app is to take notes, keep them safely and help you find them later. I'm disappointed that EN are prioritising working on all sorts of peripheral functionaility while V10 looses our data.

It is perhaps worth outlining exactly what the functionaility is because the 6.25 screen clipping functionaility is much more than just a screen shot. Having said that I don't think there is anything that can not be done in the new version in combination with native Windows 10 tools. It's just alot slower and less convenient. Here is a list of functions clip screenshot. This has been implemented in V10 although there are some odd behaviours. In addition the ctrl and shift modifiers which copy the content to the clip board or file do not work. (The contents of the screen shot are always copied to the clipboard but I have not found a way of preventibng the creation of a new note). This can also be done with the Windows native screen shot facility or another app like Gladwin printscreen. copy selection. This copies whatever you have selected directly to a new EN note. It's a very convenient way of capturing information. Given that many things take more key strokes in V10 than in 6.25 it should not surprise us that this is no longer available. The work around is obviously ctrl-C, open evernote, create new note, ctrl-V paste to evernote. This copies the contents of the clipboard to a new note even if EN is not maximised. Again the workaround is open a new note and paste.

See post below. I don't have a German keyboard so I can't verify that it works for me. Thanks @mczin

Sadly the patch released on 16 Dec (10.5.7) to fix some unspecified bugs did not include this one. 😒

This has been well documented throughout the preview, beta and release stages. There is a time lag from changing a note (e.g. adding a tag) and that change becoming searchable or filterable. This is because the searching and filtering is done on the server and not locally and it takes a while for the changes to be indexed. This is supposed to take a few minutes but can sometimes take several hours. Even a few minutes is not acceptable to me. The good news is that from 10.6 we are expecting this to take a maximum of 2 seconds. I really hope they are right. See

I haven't tried that. I was talking about dragging a tag from the tags section to the note.

One of the other ways of tagging a note in the legacy version was to drag the tag from the sidebar to the note in the note list. This still works. Alternatively you can use the edit tags menu (alt-ctrl-T) which also gives you the tags hierarchy.

The new version of En (Versions 10.x) have a completely new ststem of keyboard shortcuts. As of the latest version (10.5.6) you can obtain a list by using the shortcut cltrl+/ (or help -> keyboard shortcuts). Be warned though that, as noted elsewhere in this forum, a few of these either don't work at all or do not work how you would expect them to.
