Evernote for Mac Update: Better Text Handling

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov

We’re just going to come out and say it: Evernote for Mac has had a history of doing funky stuff when you created text notes. There were issues with text sizes, font switching, double spacing, and a host of other small annoyances.

That’s now mostly in the past. Our latest release (version 1.4.8) fixes a number of these nagging issues.

Here’s a rundown of the text handling improvements:

  • Pasted plain text will match the style of the note and properly preserve spacing.
  • Hitting enter on a double-spaced line converts it to a single-spaced line.
  • Undo continues to function after a note is saved.
  • Plain text copies of a note now preserve lists and to-do checkboxes.
  • Pasting HTML from a web browser preserves newlines from text inside <pre> blocks.
  • Copying and pasting a list item within a note preserves list indenting.
  • Pasted rich-text font sizes are preserved when saving and syncing.
  • Cutting and pasting a line of text within a note properly preserves line endings.
  • Pasting multi-line text from an HTML <textarea> in Safari preserves newlines.
  • Improved handling of newlines when pasting rich-text.

    Please fix the strange tab behavior!

    When making lists, such as expenses, everything gets all mixed up pressing the tab key on each line.
    No lines match up and it laooks terrible.
    How hard can it be to make the tab key behave like it does in all other text editors – move the cursor to the next column so one can have properly aligned columns please.

      I agree on the tabs issue – I don’t want spaces. I want tabs for easier formatting. Any idea on when that will be incorporated into the Mac software?
