- Shortcut keys provide quicker access to common functionality. Why therefore is Ctrl/Apple N associated with 'create a new database'? I send 100s of emails daily but have never used Notes to create a db once!
- Infinite, inescapable loops - I decide not to bother sending a note with a meeting acceptance, so I hit Escape (keyboard) - a universal command for 'get me the hell out of here'.
This alert box appeared with the options:
'Click Yes to send as is,
Click No to send without comments,
Click Cancel to continue editing.'
I'm sorry! Didn't I just say escape? As in 'go away, I don't want to send this at all?' So I click the onscreen cancel button and go back to edit mode and when I try to close the window I get the same dialogue box. Ad infinitum. Ad nauseum! Guess what? I can't even quit the damn application without getting the same alert! I had to force quit the application to kill this continuous causal effect!

Are you using Notes on a Mac or Windows? I had a similar esc conversation with someone recently and shared that on a PC, escape does get you out but what you want on a Mac is command-w.
Mac - but even cmd Q didn't work! Anyway the point is there is a common action missing and without poor user (me) gets caught up in frustration. Bad UI design.
Yes Lotus Notes does indeed suck. Cant believe they're still in business.
