Copy-paste a text that you wish to format further with either Bold, Italic, Underline,
Select the text and press COMMAND + B (or any other formatting shortcut: COMMAND + I or U).
The cursor will jump to the title or the previous text that I did an action on.
Repeat to the next paragraph. Select a text, COMMAND + B.
The cursor once again jumps up to the previous text (in the previous paragraph) which I had made bold.
What happened:
The cursor automatically jumps up to the title of the Note or the previous text that I did an action on.
What I expected:
The cursor to stay where it is and the text that I selected for formatting to stay selected (in this case I wish to add multiple formatting to the text: Underline + Italics).
Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc):
Latest MacOS Agenda version running on the latest Mac OS Mojave
Update: I have been able to replicate the issue and added details above.
This is very odd. I just tested my version, and there was no problem using CMD-B. If there were, I’m sure we would have heard a lot of complaints, because many people use that.
So I am not quite sure what is going on. Is it possible the shift key or caps lock is on? Or did you change the command for CMD-B in the System Preferences under Keyboard?
Hi @drewmccormack, sorry for the misunderstanding, it doesn’t have to explicitly be CMD-B but any formatting CMD-keystroke. Can be CMD-U, CMD-I… I am not sure about other shortcut CMD-keystrokes. So far I have noticed this just for Bold, Underline, and Italics.
The Shift and Caps lock keys are not on. My CMD-B behavior for other programs works fine and I haven’t made any changes in the System Preferences under Keyboard.
I have restarted the App and the Mac. This is something that has occurred on more than one occasion…
I believe it is a permanent problem but not in the way that you mentioned.
CMD-B and it’s fellow shortcuts does sometimes work properly.
Sometimes it doesn’t.
I haven’t quite nailed down how to faithfully always trigger the issue. The steps that I detailed previously triggered it. However CMD-B does not always trigger the issue.
So maybe the issue is not with CMD-B alone but CMD-B in a certain context? I am sorry that I am currently unable to be more precise and help you further. When I encounter this issue again (as I am sure I will), I will try to be careful and record what happened. Hopefully, over time, I can figure out the pattern and see what really triggers the jump back.
Hi @drewmccormack, yes the cursor is in the main text editor as I have highlighted the text to change the formatting before doing they shortcut for the formatting.
Sure, I will try with the screenshot. Ideally it would be some kind of screencast so that you can see the cursor jump from the highlighted text that was formatted to a previous text selection. I shall do my best!
