  1. There was a time when check-spelling was the red nightmare for all the non-english writing Windows users.
    Those dark times are luckily over.
    However, as title says, a minor bug seems still awakening the demon from its rest:

    Any note -> "..." ->  "Open in new window" -> start writing some non-english words -> spell checker starts flagging all the new words

     

    Quick workaround: "tools" -> "preferences" -> ACTIVATE spell checking -> DEACTIVATE spell checking


    Nothing serious, yet a bugfix would be appreciated :)

    Any programmer should know to use an editor specialized in this job - not a general note taking app. Personally I use CotEditor on my Mac for code, and save the file as an attachment into EN.

    The code feature in EN allows to grab a text code-style, monospaced, variable length of lines etc., and store it directly into a note. It is not really made to be a programmers / programming tool. I find it useful to store content, like log files I want to keep.

    I totally agree with you.
    And, indeed, my point was different. 

    I always tend to consider EN as a (potential) powerful knowledge tool: a fast virtual-second-memory which supports you in a wide range of activities (which is way more ambitious than a simple sketch/quicknotes/reminders organizing app).
    A place where to store clean "pieces of knowledge" for fast future recall and use.
    Also from your programming experiences: 

    • elegant code-solutions to specific problems (with some pieces of code and commentary in between)   
    • quick examples for design patterns
    • personal cheatsheets for nonintuitive syntax when approaching a new language
    • ... 

    You can already do that, of course, saving code as plain monospaced text. 
    Or storing source files.

    Not really as knowledge-friendly as it would be with some syntax highlighting.... 🙃

  3. Code block as it is now is... simply useless. 
    Syntax highlighting (and a better formatting) is something vital.

    ANY PROGRAMMER needs for a supporting note-app to store his own solutions, design patterns, a commented version of what found on StackOverflow... 
    ... without wasting time in clunchy (and often ugly) workarounds. 

    Why ignoring all those potential premium customers? 🙃

    A secondary/fancy feature which was unasked but somehow appreciated. 

    Still wondering why to limit the -useful- scratch pad to 300 chars.
    Do you fear running out of space? ;)

     

    However, as already said, appreciated.

     

    But, but, BUT, BUT:

    With this new secondary feature something else rolled back in a buggy/unstable/unusuable status.
    Now my cursor again goes on top every time the note autosyncs... obviously while you're writing. 
    And if it doesn't, a second conflict-copy gets created. 
    This is a core Core CORE CORE PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY.

    Having to face new CORE PROBLEMS every time a secondary/useless feature gets released is... is.... merely unacceptable.
    No matter how long you've been loving/supporting the product.
    No matter how long you've been saying to yourself "be patient, soon things will get better".

     

    Please keep this in mind.
    In the love of Evernote.
