The Suggestion: when running the same global shortcut, the Everdo window shouldn’t get in front after pressing enter. The philosophy is to add something in the inbox without having to go to the app.
In addition it would be a great idea if we can also add a description on that.
Could not reproduce the first issue. When the application is minimized, the shortcut does nothing. When the application is closed, the application is not running, so the shortcut does not work as well. Are you running version 1.7.8? If not please download the latest version at https://everdo.net
