A new note can be created from within the main window only. It should also be possible to create a new note from within the edit window, e.g. using the "insert" hotkey.

it is possible

in main menu go to
"Options", "Hot Keys", "add new note hot key"

Thanks. Though this does the job i was suggesting a hotkey inside the edit window only, not using a system wide hotkey.

The insert key cannot be used to create a new note inside the edit window because generally the insert key in this context has a different semantic. It is used to toggle between the "insert" and "overwrite" writing modes.
Can you explain why the global hotkey does not fit your requirements and you would like a third key to create a new note? thanks!

Yes the insert key has a different semantic. Though it happened naturally to me, when i wanted to create a new note while editing an other note and pressed the "insert" key, but nothing happened I have now declared an hotkey for inserting a new note via the options menu, which does the job. I was just trying to avoid another "global" hotkey to the windows system.
