  1. I workaround this by creating multiple notebooks under a stack so instead of tagging, I move each small note into notebooks topic categories so the next unsorted note will come into view for sorting thus eliminating the notes list from being full of tagged notes that requires scrolling down and multiple steps of thinking, searching, moving hands to mouse, move mice pointer around, squinting eyes to click on the next note to sort, etc 
     
    what do u think? what are the pros and cons?

    I do not know how it works on Mac, but I think you can achieve something similar in Windows by using Evernote taskbar icon. If you right click Evernote icon on the taskbar, the third option down is "New Note" (Ctrl + Alt + N). It will open a blank note in its own window where you can do what you  want with the note. You can even set-up an Evernote icon so that it will open new note window by default when you left-click on the icon. All you have to do is to right-click on the elephant icon and select Options => Evernote Icon Actions=> New Note. After that, all you have to do is click the Evernote icon in the taskbar and do your thing. I hope it is what are you looking for. 

    thanks :)

    I use PhraseExpress to create hot keys and auto text for EN and other apps. Anything that is Frequent and repetitive. For example cleaning up and adding notebook and tags to emails I forward To EN.  Managing reminder dates.  

    Others mention AutoHotKey.  I’m just used to PE at this point.  I created an excel spreadsheet so as to know what combos are safe.   Characters/keys and mouse clicks down the side and Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Win, and all the combos across the top.  FWIW

    ya awesome :)

  4. to max productivity 

    This fix will max productivity to max money for salary increase and charity donations by eliminating intermediary steps e,g, 5 seconds per touchpoints (varies e.g. thinking time, mistakes, recovery action, etc) over tens of thousands of touchpoints per user over billions of computer users across all brands worldwide, over the lifespan of technology and the lifespan of future human generations with numerous other qualitative factors.

    Thank you.

    That's why they are in Options.  I set my Capture hot key to Alt+0.  Two fingers quicker than three for me.  And copy selection to Ctrl+Win+A, again three fingers easier then four.  Whatever floats your boat.

    thanks, could u recommend a third party hotkey app or some way to remap the evernote move note shortcut keys to other simpler two keys keyboard shortcut?

    These five Global Shortcut keys have defaults, but you can change them to fit whatever works best for you.

    There are a large number of local shortcut keys, and speaking from some experience, it can be difficult to find perfect usability for all users in choice of shortcut key. Something that "shortens learning curve" for you may lengthen lengthen learning curve for me, and vice-versa. On the whole, with many 10's of shortcuts available, I'd guess that any so-called leaning curve among the non-standard ones (i.e. excluding Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and the like) would be immeasurable. In fact, I'd guess that most users don't use all of the shortcut keys, so it's not even an issue for most.

    Short form: difficulty in measuring a difference for a seemingly small subset of the users = "small bang for big bug", i.e., low priority. Particularly when the user can change the global hotkeys.

    BTW, "Move Note" is Alt+Shift+M, not Ctrl+Shift+M (Ctrl+Shift+M is "decrease indentation". That's one that I use a lot, along with its friend Ctrl+M "increase indentation)". Note that Alt+Shift+M is a*lot* closer to the default key set than Ctrl+Shift+M...

    thanks

  7. microsoft words are more effective in doing text formatting and processing. for example if you right click or double click on a word there is a pop up menu for formatting tools with a plethora of helpful tools in its arsenal. Paired with the Grammarly add-in app, you can easily check grammarly, plagiarism, synonyms, and sentence structure in microsoft words app too. 
     
    thus its better to just copy long articles which you need to format into microsoft words to do formatting and copy back into evernote. 
     
    evernote excel as a filing cabinet. 
     
    what are some alternative ways? pls share

    That''s a pretty silly comparison. It doesn't seem like a big user win to me. But if you want to send me $1000, I'll upvote it.

    all new things are silly, iPad was a female hygiene products as like the evolution from barter trading to cash then to cryptocurrencies. :)

    What do u reckon the number of times (touchpoints) "move note to notebook" & "close window" are pressed by the average Evernote premium user per day  (so instead of 2 buttons - u cut that time by 50% by pressing one button) multiplied by the lifespan of e.g. 60 years age 20 to age 80 of a user - which varies, implemented over the number of Evernote users (both free, premium & business) over the lifespan of Evernote company + the qualitative factor of bringing this proposed integrative button to other software company's products which may last over the lifespan of technology for another 100 years to millennia or of course will not come to fruition in our lifetime with 50% chance of appearing in the future mysteriously in this app, other app or in other countries. Just like most things in life. :)

    Now if the average worker have an extra 15 mins of time from the implementation of this insight, and the 15 mins of workers time = $4 (varies), nobody hires a worker where boss makes losses, research shows boss profit at least twice of value from what he pay the worker so boss makes $8 while doing practically nothing from workers increased productivity, how much value over the lifespan of Evernote will this benefit the boss per touchpoint or per day? 

    Above is simply a theory which may not please everyone unless there are some form of direct of indirect benefits to them preferably monetary. :) In debate, there are always red herrings which doesn't lead to objective scientific truth. 

    I grew up from an abusive childhood now seeking to help society by sharing my insights as no new idea is born fully formed just like social media, the idea of smartphones, etc. In life there are bound to be mistakes made and even if those are mistakes, it may catalyst insights and throttle others to other frontiers of discovery to create products and services which benefit themselves monetary but also add value to society. Such is the power of entrepreneurship, such is the entrepreneur business owner of Evernote. 

    God bless you all

    I wish you and your family safe from Coronavirus

    Amen
