This is by far the easiest way of doing it. Three equal signs also do it.

The relationship between tasks and notes within EN is both it's greatest strength and it's greatest weakness. It would be good if you could search for notes and then pull out all the tasks contained within those notes. At the moment you can only really do this by notebook which is limiting, especially if your primary organisational method is tags. While tasks do not have their own tags (or inherit the tags from the parent note which would be really nice) there is nothing stopping you setting up your own tagging system in the text of the task. So for example if you put $now into the text and search tasks you will find tasks which contain $now (but not now)

You can use the advanced search syntax. For example: reminderTime:day -reminderTime:day+7 will give you a list of reminders due in the next 7 days. Obviously once you have set up the search string as you want it you can save the search and even make it a shortcut. See https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php for more options when searching for reminders.

And don't forget that EN V10 also supports putting a colon before and after the text name of the emoji. e,g, :elephant: :heart: :red_circle: See https://www.webfx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/

Strange. I am also Windows 11 and EN 10.49.4. Obviously you need to use the keyboard shortcut for copy and paste. Can you paste elsewhere? I can paste into notepad for example.

Yep that works, thanks. It works if EN is minimised, "closed" to the notification area elephant icon or not running at all. For the last two you do need to have EN pinned to the task bar, and that also guarantees the same number each time.

I agree that it would be tedious. One little known feature would help a bit. highlight all the tags in the tag area at the bottom of the note. (click the first one and shift click the last) Copy to the clipboard (ctrl+C on Windows) Click into the body of the note and paste (ctrl+V on Windows) This will give you a comma separated list of the tags in the body of the note. You can also use this trick to copy the tags from one note to another - just paste into the tag area of the new note.

I'm slightly surprised that there is no global shortcut for simply opening EN. However if you want to find something you can use win+shift+F (on Windows) or if you want to start creating a note alt+ctrl+N. Personally I never "close" EN, I just minimise it to the task bar. EN is unusual in that hitting the cross keeps it open, running in the background. If you were to do that with most other Windows programs you would end up closing the app properly (and possibly loosing data) so I reckon it is a bad habit worth avoiding.

Perhaps you could explain what you need that isn't covered by the existing encryption function

The search grammar document is notoriously out of date! Remember, with the search grammar, that you are searching for notes not the tasks directly. So the following will find notes that contain tasks. You can also do the same from the filter menu "contains" drop down. contains:task contains:taskCompleted contains:taskNotCompleted

and, of course, you can add tasks to that note and link the note to a calendar event

I don't have a solution but you can set up several import folders with different notebooks for each. If you import a plain text file it is rendered in a box in a note. So is there a solution whereby you can save your email as a text file into the appropriate folder? This wouldn't help with attachments or images so would be pretty basic. The best solution is probably something within your email client to change the address automatically when the email goes into a certain folder. I don't know whether that functionaility exists within any email clients, but I'm sure could be done in a scripting language.

Even tasks have to live in a note. The tasks functionaility simply pulls all the tasks out of the various notes.

Good point. I'm not sure you will get exactly what you want. EN is a general purpose note taking app and so it is very difficult to optimise it for everybody's specific needs. I do find tables are generally a good way of getting more control over the layout of my notes. Merging cells gives you alot of options. You can also put standard EN code blocks and inline code in tables. I would do something like the screen shot below, and this may or may not be helpful for you

I completely agree that the current process is pretty clunky. I also agree that the back arrow frequently doesn't give you what you expect. My process is to create the master note and add a title. I can then at any time copy the link for the master note (alt+ctrl+L in windows), create a new note and then immediately paste the link to the master note at the top of the sub-note. I can then always guarantee getting back to the master note. When I do go back to the master note, I do the same process, copying the link for the sub note and then adding it to the master note. I could certainly envisage a much more stream lined process, even without being aware of how it is done in other apps. Something like highlight some text in one note, right click and choose "create note". The highlighted text becomes a link to the new note and the new note is created automatically with the title of the highligted text and containing a link to the first note.

A single cell table, in grey, with text using the monospace text style allows more complex formatting of code. It does get spell checked though so beware the red squigly lines.

This might help although there are a few limitations. Rather than use the notebook search use the normal search. If you type stack:my_stack_name notebook2 EN will search for "notebook2" within the my_stack_name stack. It is searching for the literal text "notebook2" so that includes text in a note, notebook names, tags etc. These will be identified by the icons in the drop down. Don't press return as you will only get notes matching the criteria. Here is an example where you can see notes, notebooks and a tag which meet the search criteria. Clicking on Shatred Recipes opens that notebook.

There isn't one. If you want the text out of an image you will need to use proper OCR software. The way EN recognises text is very clever. You used to be able to see this in the downloaded enex file but since V10 the data is stored elsewhere. For each word in the image EN may well assign more than one recognised word. e.g for the word cat it might record cat and cot because they look similar. This will lead to some false postives when searching but massively reduces the possibility of a false negative.

Thi has been raised many times before. e.g. I suggest you add your vote to as many of the posts as you can find, but more importantly use the feedback function (help -> share feedback) to inform EN directly as to why you need the functionaility.

Still seems to be working for me. Does it work for you on the web version of EN? 10.48.4-win-ddl-public (3760) Editor: v160.2.19698 Service: v1.60.5 © 2019 - 2022 Evernote Corporation. All rights reserved

The other option is tyat in the main tags window or the sidebar you can simply drag the tags around to change the hierarchy.

I personally believe that saved searches are not given the prominence they deserve. If you click in the search bar the saved searches are there, in alphabetical order, and you can scroll through them.

I completely agree with @gazumpedbut if you really must have a long note, you could start each section heading with unique characters (e.g. $$) or an emoji (e.g.. 🔴) and use ctrl+F to search for those characters and hence cycle quickly through the headings.

If you don't need the sidebar there is also the "expand note" view. Press the grey two arrow button at the top left of the note The "no note list" view that @agsteeledescribes can be obtained in a few ways. Here's my current list: Where you have added a note to shortcuts From the recent notes list a note in the "go to" section under search (either one of the ones that is there before you start typing into the search bar or the search suggestions that come up) Any notes that are found in the quick search (Windows ctrl+Q) Notes opened from "Home" as already explained by @agsteele

You are right. The clue is that if you use the sidebar option you see all the individual tags listed as blue lozenges. Unless you have tagged a note with all the tags (I never do) you don't get any results, as expected. If you are getting search results that are not what you expect then I would try the same search on the web version. If you get different results you will proabably need to rebuild the local database by logging out of the desktop version and selecting "remove my Evernote data from this device". In summary: tag:tag1 tag:tag2 searches for notes which contain tag1 AND tag2 any: tag:tag1 tag:tag2 searches for notes which contain tag1 OR tag2 Using the drop down from a blue lozenge tag searches for notes that contain ANY of the tags or subtags Right clicking a tag in the sidebar and choosing "filter with sub tags" searches for notes that contain ALL of the tags and subtags
