Well, long time no speak!

I’m getting into the groove of product creation again, and have got a new WordPress plugin coming out shortly. Whilst tracking the ideas for this plugin, I’ve been using Evernote, which is now my tool of choice for recording ideas, hints, tips, etc.

But, one of the annoying things about it is that I use font colour to track whether a piece of functionality is not yet done, whether it’s written, whether it’s tested and faulty, or whether it’s tested and OK.

And the font color-changing facility in Evernote sucks. There’s no nice toolbar button for it, bizarrely.

So I wrote myself a little application using AutoHotkey, to make it easier.

– You can download it here (Windows only).

– Set it to auto-run

– Then when you’re in Evernote, select the font you want to change color, and use the following keys:

CTRL + ALT + g = change to green
CTRL + ALT + r = change to red
CTRL + ALT + b = change to black.

PLEASE NOTE: This is unsupported. I wrote it for myself, and offer it freely here. If it doesn’t work, I can’t help. Sorry.
