No, as stated above. When I do the "Capture Screen" shortcut, I get one of two things: 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. 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.

no it doesn't. You guys are talking in circles on this one. THERE IS NO KEYBOARD SHORTCUT TO CLIP A SELECTION THERE IS NO WAY TO HAVE A CLIP AUTOMATICALLY SAVE TO TO THE CLIPBOARD. period.

Doesn't here. Win-prtscrn flashes the screen. If my laptop is stand alone, I get a note with the entire screen. If docked and have 2 monitors, I just get the screen flash and no note or clipping. If I click the desktop it just selects the desktop.

Nope. that does full screen, and fails when you have a dual screen setup to boot.

What is the hotkey in Windows 10 to copy part of a screen? I'm not sure how many resources would be expended by the EN team to copy the range with their snippet tool to the clipboard. They already made the tool.

Capturing a screen is not the same as clipping a screen. One is full screen, the other is your selected area. And capturing a screen puts it in a new note and not on the clipboard. So I'm back to my original request. Not sure what the downside is to putting the capture on the clipboard by default. And I'd love a hotkey for this. I can capture things in OneNote not possible with Evernote's clip tool since the act of right-clicking on the icon on the task bar closes any open menus or mouseover tooltips. OneNote freezes them all instantly for area clipping.

Thanks. That is not at all discoverable. I have a Surface Pro 4 with a high DPI screen, and I cannot explain how tiny that tooltip is. I never even saw it. Shrink this image attached to the size of your screen and you'll see what I mean. (took with OneNote, which is still, IMHO, faster as it uses a keyboard shortcut to execute and copies to the clipboard by default)

There are two basic ways to get a copy of a screenshot into Evernote. I do this all the time when documenting stuff and I NEVER want it in a new note, but always inline where I am typing. Here is how I can do it: Get what I want on the screen Right-click the EN icon on the task bar, select Clip Screenshot Drag to get what I want Go to my @Inbox notebook and get the note Cut the image out of the new note Delete the new note Find my note I was in Find my place in the note CTRL-V Or, I just discovered this today: Get what I want on the screen Press the Win-Shift-S key (Win10) or Win-S (Win7) if OneNote is installed, and it is. Drag to get what I want Click back to my note on Evernote CTRL-V Delete all of the notes OneNote has created this way at the end of the day. The beauty of this is, in step 3 for OneNote, it creates a note and puts the image on the clipboard. If Evernote did the same, I'd be golden. I'd actually prefer a setting where Evernote would just clip to the clipboard and not bother with a new note.

Close outlook and reinstall Evernote. That will force EN to reinstall the Outlook clipper and fix the settings. I use the EN clipper in Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 all of the time, so I know it works.

Thanks for the confirm. Hoping to get EN to recognize that the Windows client locks up way too frequently to be useful day to day usage because of the local database being overly aggressive in maintenance or just ill equipped to handle the job.

reliably in the sense that, there are dozens of other ways to do that that aren't as consistent. Start Evernote on Windows and make sure to leave it alone. Let it sync, etc. Make sure it has nothing queued up to do. Right-click on the Evernote icon in the task bar and select "Clip screenshot" Clip anything with the crosshairs. Go to Evernote select that note right-click on the image and select "cut" Doesn't matter what step 7 is because evernote is now frozen. This is on a Surface Pro with an i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 10. the workflow is creating a note for documentation, and using Evernote to get some screengrabs that you want in one note, so you clip, cut, paste, document, rinse, repeat. Merging notes is not an option as that: destroys any links to the original note. creates thick gray bars between notes where I really want these images more or less inline, and even in bullet lists

still absurd you cannot do this in the search query.

Technically, there is no such thing as "a stack." It is just a visual representation for you of how you want to view notebooks. It is not like a folder, then sub folders on your PC/Mac, which are all real folders. I suppose they could do this by looping through each notebook in the stack and sharing them one at a time, but then it becomes difficult to unshare a stack if you've tweaked individual notebooks in the stack with other permissions. Not impossible, but that is why you cannot share a stack today - there is really no such thing.

FWIW, the Windows client has Find & Replace, and it is hilarious to watch. Most apps I've seen just do it. Evernote moved to every "find" and you can watch it quickly do the "replace" so it is very slow. I had a checklist for a reading plan with 365 entries, and I did a find/replace for each one. It took about 15 seconds to do it. I think it was just tossed in there years ago and never really looked at. I know everyone thinks Evernote was created in 2008 or something, but the Windows client was created in 2003 and it was very much a Windows program back then with no cross-platform thinking in it, and the current version still has stuff from way back then. F&R may be one of those features.

Yup. I found this out over the weekend. I had to wait until I fired up my Windows PC to do this as the Windows client has it. Unfortunately, unless you have a Windows version of Evernote, I don't think you can. iOS and the web version of EN cannot do it either. I am not sure about Android, but doubt it.

See this thread. But first I recommend you figure out your user ID because you keep posting stuff under the @lborcoll and @nontury IDs, and that means you have multiple Evernote accounts, and that is possibly where some of your confusion is. Just pick one account and stick with that.

Are you using a recent version? EN 6.x supports HDPI monitors and I cannot tell the difference in how Evernote looks on my HDPI Surface Pro 4 screen vs an older 21" "low res" monitor that it is attached to. By default, my SP4 is set to 150% DPI in the settings for the built in screen. But EN scales well and looks comparable to Outlook, Excel, Chrome, and other apps. Not smaller or larger.

But this is a pain. But yeah, you can effectively "undo" the mess. I am fortunate I also use the Windows client and I save all my merges for that platform. It is unbelievable that macOS still cannot do this.

The -tag:archive in the search will do this easily. What you propose will make it more cumbersome to do a full search of notes and probably increase the support calls to Evernote for people that would archive stuff then wonder why it didn't show up in search results. Moving everything to an archive notebook or stack of archived notebooks and adding the "archive" tag to all of them solves this. Just include -tag:archive in your searches.

You could export it then delete it. The export file is XML, so in a pinch, you could open in a text editor to scan for info, or if you really needed something from it, just import it back into Evernote.

Yes, a "Paste Format" option would be nice. I use EN and ON daily and much prefer Evernote, but OneNote definitely has the upper hand in rich formatting.

Thanks. I am sure there are many more I've missed too. Keep the list going...

i'm not double-posting.
