Hi Kazak, happy to see you changed your vote to positive :) The backspace key is reserved, because it will be used in the future to support browser like navigation; see here http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/23145-forwardbackward-navigation-filter-history/

Can you explain, what you mean be "search symbols", please?

I realize, what really annoys me, is the double reset. When there is a tag filter and a search text filter, the first ESC will clear the search box, the second ESC will clear the tag filter. What i think might be much more convenient is: ESC should always reset both filters, that is tag+search filter. If i want to keep the tag filter, but want to edit/clear the search value i can use the TAB key to set the focus to the search box. Changing the ESC key to always clear all filters, would match with the following request to reset all filters using a double click on "All". http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/142600-double-click-on-all-in-sidebar-should-reset-search-box/#comment_169559

Please, check my request http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/106741-shortcut-to-reset-all-filters/ for resetting tag+search filter using the keyboard, which goes along to the request here.

I know about the markup language and while i agree on (most of) your thoughts, imo we don't need this feature. I also used the same standards as you and still do, e.g. asterisk for bullet lists, line breaks for paragraphs. However, i started using the new richt text features on its second revision. The first revision introduced with v 1.4 was incomplete. The second revision is a big step forward. Imo, no need for a second formatting concept.

The help is outdated. To remove any formatting use Ctrl+D. Personally i want to keep Ctrl+Del for deleting the note. I use this a lot, whereas deleting the word right from the caret can be deleted by selecting it using Ctrl+Shift+right arrow and press Del at last.
