I don't see that. If I move from one note to another by clicking on the 'summary' for it, I then need to either click into the Note itself, or use the right-arrow to get into it. In either case, cmd-shift-arrow immediately does select the text.  (Notes version 4.5, 876.1, on MacOS 1.13.6)

Is there maybe another way to move from Note to Note that I haven't found ?

Could you say *exactly* what you mean when you say "in one note then select a different note"?


In any case, Apple's HIG doesn't (AFAICS) specify anything, and autotab set to true gives me the behaviour I expect/like (for single-line fields, I will leave it false for multi-line fields).

It's mildly irritating that the selection anomaly exists, and also irritating that two behaviour changes are bundled into a single setting (autotab true = text pre-selection AND changes how "return"/"enter" are treated).

When I'm convinced I've got all the cases covered, I'll create a bug report for the former, and an enhancement request (for openfield to provide more info) to allow us to program around the latter.

Thanks,

Alex.
