Could you paste directly into a Evernote note then upgrade it to the new table format?

Errm, sorry if I am missing something, but where did the 6.7 beta discussion go?  Can't find it anymore.

Is there a way to turn off spell check for just that note?

No. I have the same issue where the note is just mass red squiggles. Same in OneNote too though.

I don't suppose it much matters as long as we know exactly what is going to be pasted in every time. It can't be pasting one thing this time and then look different the next time we grab something. It's either match style or not, as long as it's consistent. I'd prefer text only just because I then know exactly what to expect. When I have to sit and figure out what just caused things to get screwed up, it's a pain. Was it a header that changed everything in my spacing? Did a hyperlink just send me to never-never-land? Where did those extra lines come from? Just keep it consistent and people might adapt. Maybe. Possibly. Sorta. Kinda.

Like it or not, Office sort of sets the expectation here, and "Paste as Text" means text only, and that is what you get and users clearly understand everything but the text (ASCII) is stripped out. Clean and simple.

The other app that sets expectations is Chrome with its "paste as plain text." Again, no ambiguity there at all.

The point of software is to meet consumer desires, not some purist goal. With that in mind, they could request user feedback on this - i.e., would users prefer Paste and Match Style work the way it used to or enhanced by retaining hyperlinks? My guess is the latter would win by a landslide.

Or provide another option, i.e., Paste and Match Style (Retain Hyperlinks).

They could. then you are left with a Paste Special dialog box like Office apps have with 6+ choices unless you are in Excel, where there are at least 30 110 combinations of ways to paste. (yes, I counted, and that still excludes the conditional format pasting options)

But, if you say in any of those text only (values in Excel), it is crystal clear what you are getting.

I'd like hyperlinks to be retained, but that's it. Hyperlinks are easier to remove than to add.

All the formatting - font, font size, line spacing, indents, etc. should all be stripped out and match the style of the target EN note.

Beats me why EN thought that users wanted Paste and Match Style to retain formatting if the source material is encoded as a header. All of the comments I've seen since this was introduced in v6.6 have been opposed to this.

If they keep hyperlinks, they should keep feature X, Y, and Z too. 

Either it is text, or it is mystery meat.

Is the current plan to change this to remove header formatting when using Paste and Match Style, or is EN still planning on retaining the header formatting for a function that would more appropriately be named Paste and Kinda Sorta Match Style? 

Everything should be removed. Only the ASCII should survive.

Feature!

I can confirm that CTRL+SHIFT+V (Paste and Match Style) does not work as it did in v6.5. In v6.6, CTRL+SHIFT+V does not reliably strip out the source formatting.

This is a deal breaker for me on 6.6. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, otherwise I'll have to roll back to 6.5.

My workaround for now is to paste into Notepad++, then copy again and paste into Evernote. There is no formatting to go with it. You can do the same with Notepad built into Windows.

Not ideal, but workable.

Is it just me, or did the margins in the notes increase in 6.6? Seems like a lot of wasted space in the left edge of the notes field, which means I can see less of a note's content at a glance without opening up the note into its own window.

They did. They seriously need to go on a diet. Way too big. 

Merge is still broken when you are Sync on Demand enabled. See this post. It was also reported in the 6.6 betas.

Bottom line is the merge happens even if the notes aren't downloaded so only the subject is merged, the note body is simply thrown in the trash.

Huge headers multiple times in a merged note can be very unsightly. Can we please get the optional merge options like the Windows client has? Thank you

Wait wait wait wait.... get in line.  

the "ability to merge notes in the order selected" like the Windows client has has been on a list (somewhere) for years.

This used to exist back in 2006 or so when the Tablet PC existed that no one owned. 

And the reality today is touch use even in devices like the Surface Pro is astonishingly low, like <10%. That is a big reason the new MS Surface devices don't come with a pen. 

Google is your friend.

Add INDENT to Evernote!! It's even a feature on this forum (just look above) but not on the Evernote app! 

Indent is a basic feature of any word processor, note taking application, etc.

PLEASE ADD INDENT to EVERNOTE!!

It is there - per the screen shots @DTLow provided. On the Windows and iOS platform though, it is on the tool bar as it should be. For some reason on the Mac, you are supposed to remember a triple keystroke combo. It isn't a shortcut because a shortcut is a shorter way to do something that you can do another way. On the Mac, it is the only way to do it. 

What is so INSANELY frustrating about this is the Windows client has been able to do this for years - since merge was introduced. I am to the point on my Mac when I want to merge stuff, I just tag it with temporary tags, then when I get to my PC, I find those tags, do the merges, and remove the tags.

Sadly, they are probably working on another new feature for Macs that no one is asking for, and this one will still be talked about in 2019.

See the discussion here. There should be a syntax to search for words that contain the hash symbol. Preferably "#example" would find all instances of #example and not just example.

For example, I use notes for Microsoft's M Language, which has several functions like #date(), #datetime(), #infinity, etc. I cannot search for those it seems. No matter what I do, I get date, datetime, infinity with or without the # symbol.

This is a known problem, has been previously reported, and is being addressed: 

 

Still driving me nuts..

No. I am hoping the new tab view for Mac makes it to Windows.

EverNote dev team -- please put a standard Sync button UP FRONT  in every product like the one in the desktop.  I do Notes on my iPhone and on my iPad, and I want them to sync so that when I get back to my desktop system of record, the new content is there for me.

on IOS, they implemented the standard "pull to refresh" gesture, so just pull down your list of notes. Most apps with refresh-able data use this gesture.

Notes unsync'd show a tiny green triangle in the upper right after you have gone back to the note list, and as long as you have a connection, it will sync up very quickly. The only time I ever have multiple triangles is when I am on a plane or somewhere with no service so all changes are pending sync.

Yup. Same if in the note subject. I hate alt-tabbing somewhere to get info/spelling then alt-tabbing back to my note and the cursor is at the front of the note subject and not where I left off.

@EdH I've only skimmed the previous posts, so sorry if I overlooked something, but here is what I think is going on....

If you're on WIN10, the windows OS shortcuts will override Evernote shortcuts. When your screen flashes, the WIN OS is saving those clips in your "screenshots" folder (C:\users\username\pictures\Screenshots).

Try changing the "Capture Screen" keyboard shortcut in Evernote from Win+PrintScreen to something that the Windows OS doesn't use (WIN+SHIFT+S). Use the new shortcut, and press/hold the ctrl key before you release your mouse when capturing the screen clip with the cross hairs. This should save the clip to your clipboard and not a new note. 

@Austin G - thanks. That would explain some of the issues. I need to play with the settings on Windows 10. I've also installed Snagit and may go with that so I can get a more consistent behavior between my Win10 and macOS installation, but either way, thanks for the clarification on what may be going on.

If I hit Alt-P and then click I get a clip of the window in which I clicked in a note, hold Ctrl and click and the clip of the window is on the clipboard.  (I edited my previous post wherein I stated Alt-P and click captured the screen, it just captures the window clicked in, oops)

Your EN doesn't work this way?

No, as stated above.

When I do the "Capture Screen" shortcut, I get one of two things:

1. if my laptop is standalone just one monitor, I get a capture of the full screen. Everything. Like the old PRT-SCRN in Windows. The screen momentarily flashes gray when it does this. there is no time to grab the mouse and click anything when it flashes.
2. If I am at work and my laptop is docked, the screens both flash gray, and nothing get saved to Evernote or the clipboard, or anywhere else. Apparently EN's full screen capture facility either doesn't understand multiple monitors, or it doesn't understand one HDPI and one regular DPI monitor.

On my machine, "Capture Screen" does exactly that. When I manually select "Clip Screenshot" I get the faded out screen and crosshairs and I can draw my rectangle any way I like.

BUt as noted in the OP, it only creates a New Note in Evernote. Nothing is on the clipboard, so I have to the 9 steps when I am in a note and documenting to get a screen capture in the current note.
