Allow selection with Cmd+Click on macOS
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now you can only move note from one notebook to another by selecting one note at a time. This is really time consuming when you have to move more than just few notes.
Describe the solution you'd like Allow multi-selecting notes (on desktop) and option to move all those selected notes to another notebook.
Describe alternatives you've considered NA
Additional context NA
This is already possible. If you select multiple notes and right click to open the context menu, you can see the "Add to notebook(s)" button. The Add note to notebook dialog also allows removing/moving items to other notebooks.
The next version will improve the UX of this dialog a lot.
I could not find a way to multi select notes on desktop app. How do I do it on desktop?
Ctrl + Click or Ctrl + A works.
Okay, got it. I was using command key on my mac and that's why it was not working.
Pressing command+A on mac selects all the text (sidebar, notes list, opened note etc.) that is displayed on the app.
Ctrl + Click or Ctrl + A works.
Okay, got it. I was using cmd key.
Oh wait. Cmd should work too...that's a bug if it isn't working.
I want to spend a moment to highlight the importance of fixing this issue. This bug makes multi-note selection much harder than it needs to be on macOS. Ctrl + click is hard-mapped to right click on macOS and there is no way to unmap this function. That means that Ctrl + click cannot be used to select notes on macOS, as it will just bring up the context menu. A quick band-aid solution for this would be to include a "select"/"unselect" option in the context menu.
Additionally, yes, Cmd + A is broken and will just select all the text in the client, including text from UI elements, for example, the "Notes" heading when you're in the Notes tab.
With that out of the way, I would like to say thanks for creating such a great application, minor issues like these aside. Your app flies in comparison to your competition.
This should be fixed in v2.2.4. Can you confirm @chairmantheboring @gaganyadav80
Now it works, it selects multiple notes with CMD+click.
But will be nice to be able to deselect a note by clicking again on top with CMD+click.
@sharemind
deselect a note by clicking again on top with CMD+click.
