Pink Elephant, I can appreciate the default being searching the notebook that's open. What I don't like is having to grab the mouse to change that to Search Everywhere whenever I'm searching for a note elsewhere, which is most of the time. Thanks Mike P, for working with me. The screenshot you sent was exactly what I was trying to accomplish You wrote, "Now you are going to tell me that ctrl+1 (or ctrl+2 etc upto 9) doesn't invoke the appropriate shortcut!!" was exactly what I'd said earlier in this thread, LOL. But, mystery solved. I opened the Task Manager and closed every process associated with Evernote. Rebooted Evernote and it still doesn't work. Then I figured it out: Alt-Ctrl-2 (and all the others Alt-Ctrl-digit) needs to be invoked with the numerical keys below the F keys, not with the number keys on the numerical pad, even using NumLock. That's what I get for being a dinossaur who still works on Windows with a full keyboard. Uff. Thanks for your help!!! Lena

I want to move the cursor from whatever notebook I'm in to [All] Notes, so that I can eliminate the default search notebook and my having to click on Everywhere in the search dialogue. None of these keyboard shortcuts work. I changed the shortcut associated with Open Notes and it didn't cut it. I hate having to stop typing and clicking each time I do something. I find myself needing to click all the time. Thanks for trying. I feel that Evernote for Windows is just glitchy. I should be able to navigate the search box with keys. If that worked I wouldn't be trying to work around that.

Thanks, Mike P. Ctrl-Alt-2 does nothing if the Notes panel is already open. I tried that yesterday. Actually, I just noticed that NONE of these Alt-Ctrl keyboard combinations is working for me, not even Open Home. I'm running the version that installed today. Do any work for you? Thanks, Lena

Thanks, Gazumped. Win+Sh+F opens the search box, which is nice. Once there, however, I need to click on Everywhere to move the default highlight from Search in "[Open Notebook] to Everywhere (all notebooks).

Same in Windows. No matter what I try, save as template grayed out.

PinkElephant's suggestion - the down arrow key - doesn't work on Windows to move the focus from the search box to current notebook to "Everywhere". In Windows, the down arrow just moves the focus to the notebook that is under the current one. I've tried every single combination of Sh, Ctrl And Alt with Tab and arrows, and nothing seems to work. In the search box in Windows: is there a keyboard shortcut to move the focus from the searchbox to the items in "Search in" when I'm inside a notebook? I'm also struggling to find a keyboard shortcut to get to All Notes, so that "Everywhere" would open by default. I'm really tired of having to use the mouse. Thanks.

LONG time Evernote user. I just updated to 10.80.3-win-ddl-public (20240314162820) in the hope that the distracting purple "Enter Task" that was introduced about 3 updates ago would be eliminated. My eye goes directly to that green and purple bar all the time, instead of the focus being on my notes and my notebooks. That huge green and purple bar occupies prime real estate, as any graphic designer should know. Green I could live with; the addition of Purple tipped the bar to unbearable. I like seeing my notebooks on the sidebar, so I found a solution, which was to cover the offensive distractor with an old-fashioned Post-It note (see photo #1). Yes, the old-fashioned "use paper to cover it up." First time in 35+ years using computers I had to do that. But I realized that my brilliant solution preludes the ability to search my notes, because the search bar appears exactly under the offensive color bar (see photo #2), and I can't see what I'm typing. So now, each time I want to do a search, I need to hide the sidebar and remove the post-it, and then reverse that. 4 extra steps. (FWIW, I will NEVER use tasks in Evernote. I use a dedicated task manager that is super fast.) I chose Evernote because it was fast, allowed me to focus on my notes, and to search them quickly. This is the final straw for me. I'm going to actively look for another app.

The issue of distracting colors permanently on the interface - 10.78-2-win-ddl-public - is easily resolved with a sticky note. It's sad but this is what I had to resort to with "brilliant" green and purple in my face 100% of the time. See photo.

I hear you, PinkElephant, thank you. The joy of dealing with proprietary file formats. Prior to Evernote I used InfoSelect, and it was the same situation. "Remember everything" as long as the user takes the time and trouble to move everything they don't want to sync (or to sink, using your metaphor!) out of the Evernote boat. It still feels like a broken promise. Do you think I should bother to suggest a non-syncing Evernote viewer app?

With all due respect, Pink Elephant and Gazumped - and I've appreciated your posts here for many years - you didn't read my post carefully. I first started using Evernote in 2010. I have local private notebooks that I don't want to upload to the cloud. I also have several dozens of archival notebooks that I don't need to sync, because they only cause bloat. I currently have all of this on a separate EN account. To access this non-cloud stuff is why I'm re-installing Legacy and setting it not to sync. What would make me happy is if Evernote could turn Legacy into a viewer of local ENEX files, with no sync capabilities. Allow it to import and export ENEX files, but that's it. This version of Legacy would allow me the backward compatibility I'm seeking, and maybe (I'm not a programmer) meet Evernote's need to avoid conflict between two different database structures. The viewer wouldn't have to be uninstalled each time there's a update, and we all could live happily ever after. Or until Evernote makes another major change. Regarding Lucaszw's complaint, I don't even try to use spell checker with a second language. I agree that it's quite annoying. Thanks, Lena

(I apologize if this thread already exists. I searched the forum for "Evernote update uninstalls legacy" and found no hits among the first few pages.) I reluctantly upgraded to version 10 because I have private notebooks that I don't want to sync to the cloud. Then I installed Evernote Legacy and set it NOT to sync, so that I could continue to access those notebooks. Today I accepted an update to the most recent version and had to agree to have Legacy uninstalled again. It would be nice if the installer had realized that since I already had version 10 installed, there was no need to uninstall Legacy again. "Remember Everything" is no more. Instead, I feel pushed to "Feed Everything to ChatGPT." I was truly annoyed when a prior version of 10 automatically defaulted to AI search. At least the update today didn't reset my choice of standard search. Please give me the choice to run an archival legacy version of Evernote without having to reinstall it, then manually turning off sync, then reimporting private notebooks. If this persists I'll simply stop updates to version 10 until enough significant changes have occurred. BTW - the changes in an update should, ideally, be presented to me BEFORE I choose to install the update, not after. Thank you, Lena

This issue is still not fixed on Windows Release version 6.17. Though the release notes say "- Now there’s one easy place to find all the notes and notebooks that have been shared with you. Check out “Shared with me” over there in the sidebar." the only I thing I see under "Shared with me" is a note shared by someone that I cannot delete.

Thanks, northxnortheast -- did this a month ago not hoping for much but it really fixed the problem. What a shame that this command is hidden in the depths of this forum and in the depths of evernote.exe.

FWIW, +1 for this one...!

+1 too! Lena
