Just gave the newest editor a try. While in Dvorak, Ctrl + I and Ctrl + U did not work, but they did work if I switched to QWERTY.

Yes, I am a Dvorak user! How in the world did you ever track down that bug?

I don't think "idiot" is excessive. Prosaic, fine. About 14 months ago, Evernote Corporation pushed its users to new software which was, by its own description at the time, beta. Beta does not mean "ready for general consumption". Beta means "probably still a little buggy, but basic functionality is there, and if you want to try some shiny new features, here you go". Ctrl+C functionality was broken at the time. IMO, having such basic, essential functionality broken might be expected under an alpha release, but not a beta. Millions of people around the world use Ctrl+C multiple times a day. 14 months have passed. The "beta" descriptor is gone from the new interface. Ctrl+C is still broken. If you have a single credible reason to break Ctrl+C functionality in a text editor, please share. Everything points to a complete, utter failure of Evernote UX and QA. But hey, at this point, I'm just yelling into the ether. I don't think Evernote Corp cares. If Evernote Corp had gone "whoopsie, we should have fixed that before the beta", I might have understood. However, the fact that they have left a very common, everyday keyboard shortcut broken for 14 months and counting speaks to a total lack of care for the end user. What can I say? Keep your data backed up.

Seeing the notifications from this thread, I just checked the "new" version again, and yep, I still don't have Ctrl+C functionality. I reported this bug 14 MONTHS AGO. What kind of idiots are running this company?

It should be noted Evernote currently has 3, yes, THREE web versions available: classic, current, and (I'm sorry, but the quotes are earned) "beta". I just tested the "beta" on Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit), Windows 10 build 16299.726, and Ctrl+C still doesn't load selected text into the buffer. Ctrl+X does nothing. I can still copy and paste by right-clicking, but that's no good to me. Too bad Evernote doesn't display a version number for the web. I wonder if we're using different versions.

My bad, I misunderstood what was written at the bottom of the forums. As the Evernote front page says, the company name is Evernote Corporation. I have corrected the original post now.

I pointed out this issue in October. I had to revert the web client from Beta. I just checked, and it's still broken, nearly 4 months later. 😞 Ctrl+C does not load the selected text into the buffer. I'm deeply concerned about what Evernote Corporation is doing with Evernote, and the signals they're giving. I would hope UX testing would be a barrier between alpha and beta testing, but I don't have any evidence it's been done, if they missed something as simple as Ctrl+C functionality. Beta testing should be opt-in for your users, Evernote Corporation! There are people out there who enjoy playing with new software before anybody else. And then there are other people, like me, who need it to just work. Last, -and this is overarching- communication is important. As a Linux user, when I look at new software, I can usually expect to find a few bits of documentation, explaining what's new, known bugs, and other changes. Where are the changelogs? Where's the README? Where's the ISSUES file?
