Ecstatica

I was so excited about the ability to create a new note with a link in-place just by typing slash. Then I found out it only works if you are at the beginning of an empty line, so if you want to do this in a bulleted list for instance (I want to do this A LOT) it doesn't work. So for me it's almost completely useless. Anyone know why does it not work in a bulleted list, or indeed everywhere?

Thanks for the pointer @Mike P I had seen that workaround already, maybe even posted by you, but for me it's just not good enough. I played around with Notion for a bit, and even though I ultimately thought for my use-case I preferred EN, I really did like how you could do a lot of things without touching the mouse. I've been using note links more and more lately (⌥⌘k, type the name, tab, space, enter) and that kind of thing is so much better in Notion. It has to be really fast otherwise it starts to lose its utility. Another thing that drives me mad about note links is that you can't find them with ⌥⌘k for some random amount of time after you create them. Sometimes almost instant, sometimes minutes, which is very frustrating.

I know this has come up before, many times, but I still can't understand why templates do not include tags. The hack of adding a line at the bottom of your note, with a comma separated list of tags that you then copy and paste into the tag line is just that. A hack. It's so slow and annoying. Why not just allow tags on templates? I think part of my frustration is that my flow is interrupted by having to take my hands off of the keyboard to use the mouse, when I think this could all be shortcuts. Now I have to: Create a new note, ⌘n. Select a template, no shortcut so click Open Gallery then click the template I want. Add a tag. Either: ^⌥⌘t, then type the tag name, hit tab until the right one is highlighted (many times depending on how many matches there are, or how much of the tag name you typed), hit Space to select it, then hit enter. Use the mouse, click add tag, type the tag name, hit enter. All of step 3. could be eliminated by allowing templates to retain their tags. In general I'd like to see Evernote be much more friendly to people who don't want to be moving to the mouse all the time.

The ability to paste a link to a doc in Google Drive and have the title displayed is really useful, but having to give Evernote the ability to "See, edit, create and delete all of your Google Drive files" is way over the top. Please could you change this to just read-only access? Good security is about defence in depth, and the ability to use the most restrictive access would be better. Is there a reason Evernote needs all these other permissions? I don't see anything in the app that allows you to edit, create or delete Google Drive files. I've seen comment that you are only allowing your personal Evernote account to access your personal Google account, but this is not always the case. I have a corporate Google account, and access to shared documents.
