Hi Jon,

The premium Evernote channel idea is an interesting one, and i'd imagine that there's certainly a market out there for that space between general community forums and private coaching. I think its also important that content creators such as yourself feel that your time and effort is suitably rewarded.

I think Tim Stringer's excellent "Learn Omnifocus" site is a nice example of how your can build a community around a particular app. I was a member of that site for quite a while, but I think that over time I came to view it more as an excuse to fiddle around with the software than actually use it to get stuff done. In some ways I think that Evernote is becoming a little like OmniFocus in that sense - it's a piece of software that never quite gets out of the way. There's always some new feature (or bug) that disrupts my workflow. Having expert advice on how to manage some of that would great, but i'd imagine that it would be tricky for you not to let this new channel become glorified tech support where the discussion is dominated by people looking for the kind of assistance that Evernote itself is not willing or able to offer.

cheers,

Chris

Thanks. Lots of great info there and I'll take a looks at Tim's community.

I wanrt to stay away from a course as there are many of those around already but I wuite like the idea of 1-2-1 mentoring with folk who use EN as the base of their business organisation. Def don't want to become tech support lol.

Lots to think about. Thanks.

I wonder if something might have been lost in translation (from markdown...? ;-) )

You mentioned the ”keyboard shortcuts using CTRL + / or Command + /” – I wonder if that wasn't supposed to be ´ instead of /

At least that’s the shortcut in my app to bring out the shortcut panel in Evernote. The shortcut for the shortcut, so to say…

Interesting. Just tried on my PC and Mac and CTRL/Command + / opens the shortcuts.

Have you remapped the shortcut to ´ ?

I haven't to my knowledge remapped the shortcut. And in the shortcut commands panel it does show as cmd+/. However, when I press cmd+/ I get a saved search from my ”stared shortcuts” (not sure what they’re called in the English interface).

In the dropdown application menu it shows as cmd + ´ weirdly enough.

That’s in the macOS desktop app.

I wonder if there’s something in the Swedish translation/interface that got mangled.

And it shouldn't be any global shortcuts (eg from Raycast) that’s interfering, as Evernote does do something - just the wrong thing ;-)

I tried it in the web interface as well, there nothing happens with neither cmd+/ nor cmd+´(and I could find a way to open the shortcut command panel in the web interface)

That's very odd. Could be an language issue and shortcuts not showing.

Web doesn't have many shortcuts so I don;t think its available there.

Send in a support ticket if you get chance and I'll mention it on the expert forums, there's quite a few non-english language folk there.
