Description

by default the focus/cursor is in the first field of a note when you start making a new note. If you have an add-on like "Add note-id" that's not ideal. This add-on allows you to set the cursor to a different field. You can set this per note type in the add-on settings. The first field has the number/index zero. e.g. the field "Back" on the built-in notetype "Basic" has the value 1. Use this at your own risk. It works for me. No support. doesn't work with the add-on "Advanced note editor (Multi-column, Frozen fields)". When I use only the add-on "Advanced note editor" no line is focused and my add-on doesn't change anything about this. This add-on works with the regular "Frozen Fields" add-on. # other add-ons Glutanimate's add-on Quick Field Navigation gives you shortcuts to quickly change the focus to different fields.
