Sometimes note taking can be very very time critical, once travelling with Dr Who the Daleks gave a laser bank disarm code which I tried to jot down in Keep but owing to not being able to start in one stroke I missed the first digit.

Still I am glad of the update.

good, sometimes I need to quickly start a note, so I need to remember what to type while listening to the person talking; then Keep asks what kind of note I want - just open an empty note and my keyboard ffs
That's a shame, I like that it asks which kind of note you want. Most notes I make are in the form of checklists, and the choice of format when starting a new note felt much more convenient than opening a note and then having to turn it into a list afterwards.
