If you filter on that tag, you can then sort by alpha order, and then save the search. When you use that saved search, the tag filter and the order should be preserved.

And how is this relevant to the question asked? Or is this @Lewis-H being a bot again?

One of their posts in a different topic this morning was clearly bot-ish. Flagged and hid it.

This one here appears to be a direct but unattributed quote of an old Verge article: https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/4/17820752/evernote-premium-annual-subscription-sale-executives-depart, so kinda bogus, but mostly harmless, I guess.

Yet another person who thinks the highlighter needs to be many different colours. We're working from home and I'm making notes of meetings being held remotely. I need something to differentiate points in my notes. I have thousands of notes in Evernote, mostly clippings. I will be using it even more during this time, and this most basic of functionality should already be there. It's been requested for YEARS. 

It's coming. It's in the current web beta, as has already been noted in this thread.

Hi, It's 2020 already. Any idea if Evernote will add this feature soon?

No, do you?

I've invested all this content and effort into your platform with the understanding that you would eventually bring in the ability to use basic information visualization tools, but you still don't even have basic word processing tools. 

Odd. I invest my time and money into Evernote because of the features it has today, rather than the feature I hope it acquires in the future (but may never get).

How to detach the note window from side panel so that I can place my notes sides and work along.

Double-click on a note in the note list

~or~

Select a note in the note list and hit Ctrl+Enter

~or~

Select a note in the note list, right click, and select Open Window

~or~

Select a note in the note list, and in the main menu: Note / Open in a New Window

This is a year late but something I used to love doing was this:

1. Create a windows shortcut for notepad (I created a shortcut with CTRL+ALT+Z) which would automatically open notepad

2. Create an evernote import folder (Tools > Import Folders... > Add...) and set it to auto import your note.

3. Everytime you want to create a plain text note, open up notepad with your shortcut and then write and save it to the import folder.

I got so quick at it because I was having issues with the Evernote note editor. You don't even have to save the note - once you have written your plain text you could even just use CTRL+A to select everything you just wrote and CTRL+ALT+V to paste to evernote.

Or you could just use the Evernote Windows global shortcut key (default is Ctrl+Alt+N, I think, but it's configurable) to open a new Evernote note, and you just type in that note, and you'd get the exact same result.

Surely there are some, as I recently discovered that Ctrl-X encrypts highlighted text...

Since when? It does a Cut operation for me, as it should.

Ctrl+Shift+X encrypts text, though.

I would like to bring back the conversation to the initial question: is there a list of working keyboard shortcuts for Evernote Web (new version)?

None that I know of. It would be nice.

What "intermediate steps" are you referring to?

The functionality is to move a note to a new notebook. They have put three recent notebooks at the top, which is A Nice Thing (though they should probably not include the notebook that the note is currently in), you can use the search magnifying glass to find other notebooks, or scroll through the list.

What, precisely, do you want to see?

Check Tools / Options / General tab : Left Panel Theme

Same answer, most likely: The Paragraph entry doesn't have an ID (there's no "Paragraph" command), only its children do, e.g. "Left" (= aligh left), "Right" (= "align right"), etc.

Is this a problem?

CTRL + Q = Search 

Enter Keywords

Why not list the search results based on last accessed being the latest accessed notebook or note at the top of the search results?

I don't understand what you are saying. Can you explain it better? Provide a screen cap?

If you're talking about the search results once you've performed the query, they are always in the order specified by the sorting chosen by you for the current context, which, n the Windows application, can be different for different notebooks; there's also a global search order as well.

If you're talking about search suggestions as you type, then that's what is unclear to me.

I know there's a popular request out there already to be able to change the background color of just the notes themselves. That request has been floating around for 8 years and has garnered support, but no action. Obviously, if you implement that, any user-selected note color would override the dark gray/black background in that note.

Please read posts by @dcon / @dconnet to get a handle on why dark mode is difficult to implement on a Win32 application. Windows is not that same as Android...

What's the point of this very academic discussion?

To make Evernote better.

What's the point of your useless comment? Sorry I read your post -- you're back on 'Ignore'. Again.

In Windows, Ctrl+Alt+N anywhere opens up a new Evernote note, type, type, type, you're done. Easy, and not any harder than what you suggested, plus it makes it easier to assign a notebook and tags right then, rather than having to figure it out later.

Does this have anything at all to do with Evernote?

So then I think our real differences are two: first, is the user dictionary (not the main dictionary, but the list of new, often specialized terms or proper names that the user needs in their work) on the developer side or the user side of the line? (And I agree that there should be a line.) I see it as on the user side, since it is basically the user's creation, the developer only providing the tools necessary to create it within the software.

I'm OK on disagreeing on this point (and don't want to belabor it further), but more importantly, I'd like to emphasize that from my side, we're all good now.

To the stuff about an actual editing interface, just allowing you to do what could be done previously, i.e., add or remove individual items from a straight list would be sufficient. Really, you're looking for ways to remove actually misspelled items, since you can add new items via the standard note editor. Perhaps the UI could include a way to import a simple list in, as well; that would be handy. Beyond that, working in affix rules would be extra credit, and probably overkill for most Evernoters. And if they could automatically turn 'teh' into 'the', and 'Evernotoe' into 'Evernote' while I'm (mis)typing, that would be ok by me.

I apologize again for making generalizations about programmers, and for quoting someone else's derisive term. I have not been shaking my fist, and I used "<rant>" in a way that I thought would indicate a semi-humorous, if slightly sour, intent. Clearly I caused you some serious offense, and I really am sorry for that, since I respect all the good work you do around here for other users.

Fair enough, and for the record, I also respect the work that you do in the forums: you help a lot of folks hereabouts and you often tackle stuff that I wouldn't. Sometimes communication gets a little sideways on the web, if if I misread your feelings as being more overwrought than were meant, then you have my apology as well.

You keep using words like "contract" and "obligation," which I have not used.

Sure, those are my words, and they stem from my experience in the software development field. To my mind, when you make software, there is -- or ought to be -- some form of understanding that some elements of an application are for use by the end-user, and some are not. The UI is an obvious case of what's clearly in the user area. Scripting languages, and the like, the same. Flip side: registry settings, undocumented files, the actual executable file(s), those are on the developer side. To me, there's an implied contract that the user keep to their side, where we'll do our best to maintain stability of UI and operation,  and not muck with things on the developer's side, because the latter are apt to change. So a contract, not in the sense of something that's legally binding, but nor enforced, but something that gives some measure of guarantees to the user as to where it's safe to change things (user options or settings) and where it's not. If it's a gray area or not documented publicly, we can clear that up if asked. 

As a software user myself, I *want* to go through the app's UI to do things; I don't want to be poking around in the registry or external files unless it's absolutely necessary. The registry is a terrible end user UI, and will give you no information about what are good changes and what are potentially dangerous ones. Ditto for external files.

Obviously software changes; I don't expect permanence. I do expect things to make sense.

Stuff on the developer side doesn't need to make sense to the end user; they need to make sense to the developer, because presumably, they're in position to understand what their intended use is.  Some developers are happy to explain why changes are made, some not so much. In this case, it'd be "go ask Google", since it was their change.

I do not think it makes sense to lock down the user dictionary even if (which we do not know) this is done in prospect of eventually having improved functionality. Frankly, I think that this gives some support to my idea that the people who made this decision were not thinking of how users actually need to use this function. And knowing that the course of programming seldom does run smooth is even more reason not to make things inaccessible for the moment in the assumption that that moment will not be long.

To me, the dictionary file was on the other side of the line; indeed the fact that it became essentially a binary format is a clue to how the developers viewed it, and that's probably why it was deemed to be OK to change. Maybe they didn't know, or never expected that users would hand-edit it. Or maybe that caused a problem somehow, and it was made binary to make it easier to keep prying fingers out. We don't know.

It's unfortunate that it broke some user's workflow, and also if people lost their edits when the changeover happened, but it seems unlikely to get changed, so it's a case of "be careful what you tinker with" if it's not explicitly deemed appropriate by the developer. Or, in the old saying, "Caveat hackor"...

Hey, I was having this problem too. I know this isnt ideal but I was able to turn on "mouse keys" on windows which lets you control the cursor with the mouse pad. (Explained here --> https://mcmw.abilitynet.org.uk/using-your-keyboard-to-control-the-mouse-windows-8-1). If you click with the mouse and control the cursor with the keyboard you get perfectly straight lines.

Thanks, but the problem is that this is an Android-specific thread...

If you're eventually, some time, whenever, going to make your dictionary amenable to pluralization and case endings, that's a nice idea, but marvelously hard to implement in English (and not easy in any natural language). So (if that's the reason, which is only speculation), until that remote date, why not wait to put in the checksum until it will accomplish something useful? 

Oh yeah, missed this.

So sometimes, when there's no contract about a particular artifact of a program (file format, registry entry, etc.) a developer will make changes that provide a prelude to making future changes, because there's no expectation that anyone outside will be consuming it directly. And maybe due to scheduling and prioritization issues, the actual changes/improvements aren't made right away (or at all). Them''s the breaks, because the program has already moved on, and the format is different, and it shouldn't affect anything except the program.  People who make assumptions about artifacts of an application can be met with a rude surprise when things change. But there was no contract here. *shrug*

But on the topic of pluralization, case endings,and other linguistic delights, here's a page that discusses the Chromium approach, or at lease serves as a starting point for how Google thinks about such things: https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/editing-the-spell-checking-dictionaries. Interesting stuff.
