I really like this feature but sometimes it does not activate. I find if I go to Home then Ctrl-Q always works but that breaks the flow and removes what I was looking at from view. Does anyone know how to make this work reliably? I have searched the forums.
@laurence.glazier, that's my experience too. Assigning the same keyboard shortcut to two different functions in two different contexts seems mind-bogglingly ... can't think of a polite way to put it. And why on earth use Ctrl+Q for justify?
I believe the focus needs to be in the notebook list for the quick switcher to work. Control Q doesn't' respond if your cursor is in the note. But if you click on the notebook you're on in the notebook left column list, Control Q will work. That's my experience, anyway.
You are right. Given that you are about to use a shortcut (Ctrl+Q) it's woth noting that the shortcut alt+ctrl+\ takes the focus to the note list. So no need for your hands to leave the keyboard. If ctrl+Q was something I used alot, I'd probably create a hot key using AutoHotKey that combined both shortcuts to make it even easier.
Sorry to make myself redundant ... wait, that's not right ... anyway, as I noted above I was able to edit the Switch to shortcut to something other than Ctrl+Q, and when it no longer conflicts with the Justify shortcut it can be invoked while editing a note as well. @laurence.glazier, I don't have a "What's New" section anymore in my keyboard shortcuts dialog (Ctrl+/), just searching at the top for Switch gets me to the Switch to entry, which is editable.
Thanks @Dave-in-Decatur, maybe it is because I went back to the previous version.
I asked ChatGPT 4 to write an AutoHotkey script to make Win-Shift-G work as a universal hotkey for Switch-to. It only knows AHK Version 1, but it works with that older version of AHK. It's not perfect but does the job, and it's nice in that the keystroke is adjacent to Win-Shift-F, the usual Evernote search.
I finally discovered I could edit Switch to. The confusion is that it appears twice - the first mention in the hotkeys editor is in the What's new section, where it can't be edited, but it is there again lower down the list under Navigation, where it can be changed.
I am wondering if anyone has found a reliable solution here to link Switch to a universal hotkey. I am using AutoHotKey V2 now with this code (I have remapped Ctrl-Q, which does not work while a note is being edited, to Alt-Q)
