I'm also a big fan and user of opening notes in new windows too. I made a post over in the Mac feature request forum about it, but they all apply to the Windows version too since it's exactly the same in this area.

Also, doesn't CTRL-ENTER already open the note in a new window when a note in the note list has the focus. Or were you specifically talking about if the note editor has the cursor? (Like my #3 from that other post?)

 

I like all of your ideas too. Basically add a keyboard shortcut and be able to do it from anywhere in the application would be my request 😊. Yes you can hit CTRL+ENTER on the main note list, but not like you mention in #1 on the "switch to.." overlay.

It is useful to be able to open notes in a new window, instead of always in the current window. One common workflow for me is to have a single note open, and to use searches, or notebooks, to open related notes. The related notes should be opened in a new window so that they can be seen side by side.

At the moment you have to double click from the note list, or right-click and open in new window. Also note that double clicking first opens the note in the current window and then opens it in a new window.

Consider adding CTRL+CLICK, or when navigating in keyboard through searches (such as when you have used CTRL+Q) to allow CTRL+ENTER to open the note in a new window.

The highlight location in titles, when app full screen on 27" monitor, is incorrectly placed. Above the search "Migration" was made, as you can see from note list on left hand side. If you double click title bar to toggle full screen it will correctly position itself. But if you then in full screen, perform another search it will be incorrectly placed again.

If you dock the main Evernote window, perhaps alongside another note you are working on, then use the Windows + SHIFT + F search shortcut. The window will undock and move back into the centre of the screen.

EN didn’t raise prices for the existing subscriptions. They added features for the same price as before. So there is no argument like „now I need to leave, but I am locked in“, because when you continue what you did before, nothing has changed.

And yes, from posts I have answered I have the impression that there are People here in this forum who don’t know what full boolean search means, have no idea where to use it - but must have it, for nothing. Just because it now it there, and ouch, it must be marvelous because they charge extra money for it.

Here is a simple test for that: Who has ever used the advanced search page of Google ? Few have, if the first result is not what they want, they change the words, or add another on the initial page.

There is full boolean search in Google, for free. Who never used it will probably do the same in EN - what a „must have“ is that, fully ignored where available ?

This IMHO does not disqualify these users, you can live a long life without the need to ever search boolean. But the reaction of „I want it all, and for free“ do raise doubts about theses users approach to services - and their fellow users here in the forum.

It is a subscription service not a one of payment. You subscribe for use, feature updates and continuous innovation. Evernote is search.

I'm not sure most of the people complaining understand what a Boolean search is. I have over 12K notes, and don't use tags. I have rarely needed more than one search term to find anything, but two or three always work. IMO, if you need that complicated a search with nested ANDs and ORs, you need better structure, tags, or both. We have never had Boolean searches. 

I think EN screwed the pooch on pretty much everything for the last year from a marketing and communication standpoint. But I have the feeling if they announced that only Professional level can use the phrase "Brussel Sprouts" in a note, there would be an uproar. The only thing in Pro I would like is exporting as PDF. If I decide I need it, I'll see if I can rearrange my portfolio and scrape together the extra $24 a year.

Being facetious, questioning peoples intelligence, or simply dismissing peoples concerns as being irrelevant is not particularly helpful and are poor arguments.

If you look at the market these days a lot of software will provide gated access to certain features, in a lot of instances those features are in reality required to make use of the product. You quickly realise that you need to upgrade. e.g. basic plan allows up to 3 tags, premium allows unlimited. That is not happening here yet but it clearly the model that Evernote are employing. 

It is always easy to say you have the option to stop paying, but trying to extract 13 years of notes and information from one product to another is more involved than deciding to stop paying.

If everyone accepts every change, then every change is acceptable.

How is searching, which is supposed to be the main reason we use Evernote, a professional feature? I'm pretty annoyed. After years of paying for a stagnant dying product the moment they start  investing in it I have to pay for more for standard features. Ridiculous.

Was about to report this myself. Very annoying.

The new note/task menu is putting extra steps between me and creating new notes. Previously, you could just click new note and your away, now you have to click the "+ New" button and then re-click it to get a new note. This is primarily my note taking application, not task management.

At the very least having it immediately display on mouse over would be an improvement.

If you have a cursor in the note text, when printing the cursor is also printed in the note.

When I have a note open in its own window and attempt to print it. Either by using the menu Note -> Print on the note window or by using the print shortcut. It will print the note currently open in the main window.

At the moment the dialog simply requests you confirm your action. However, especially on larger displays, the ellipses for the notebook you are deleting is far away from the name so there is that opportunity or error.

Secondly if you are asking for confirmation I would like to know what I am confirming.

You can use the ` character to start and end some text in a paragraph. Like `this text here`. Press space after the closing ` character it gets converted to inline code. Some things to note: if you use the `. combination it will not convert it, it needs to be a space. To get around that just press space then backspace to move back to add your fullstop.

This is an Evernote 10+ feature.

The inline code styling font and background feels to large, it overlaps each other code blocks and takes up too much space in the text.

I am seeing a noticeable and visible pause before notes open on the desktop version - loading and rendering notes. This is compounded when the note is a large text note or there is a PDF or other document to be loaded as well.

The responsiveness of the old evernote desktop was much quicker. I understand this is PWA now which I am all in favour of, however loading, veiwing, searching and quickly getting information out of Evernote is the reason why I use it.

I am happy for the application to cache and stash the entire note database locally on each device (maybe not mobile) the power of the desktop and the ease of updating a PWA, winner winner.

This, this, this! I work in IT and have no real need for Word style formatting. I just want to store plain text notes and have a global font setting so I can change the monospace font and size for all notes, to my current monospace font of choice.

This is currently an absolute nightmare.

New -> Note
New -> Plain Text Note

or as others have stated have entire notebooks configured to be plain text.
