Hello!
Context(s):
- main window - open but in background.
- 2 notes - split screen.
- or 1 note, split screen, different desktop
Pressing CMD + N I expect to have another note pop up and let me continue my work. Instead it opens a the main window from the background.
Issue 1: This leads to context switching. By either moving my eyes away from my work into Main Window (will get to that in “Issue 2”). Or completely switching the Desktop screen - which is dazzling to my eyes.
Issue 2: Main Window usually points to a last opened note or something I researched. So when I create a new note but I am 15 scrolls away from the top. I need to scroll up into oblivion to be able to “right-click” + “open in new window”.
It is one of the most annoying parts I have since using Bear app. No matter if I am in another window or Main Window working on another note. New Note is at the top and maybe I don’t want to leave the spot where I am with my notes work.
I get that there are workarounds:
For example: Write a title. cmd + O. Insert title name. Press cmd + Enter.
But again the whole “simplicity” concept is murdered by yet another workaround (templates through shortcuts would be an example).
Just a thought:
I know many people are conservative about it, but: tabs.
This could be solved by having multiple tabs and being able to split screen inside 1 window.
Questions:
- How do you manage the cmd+N situation when creating a new note?
- How can I manage better [Issue 2]?
Thanks!
