Notes

About

The notes plugin provides you a quick way to write down a todo list, to paste a piece of code, to leave a note to your friend, or whatever else you had like to do.

The notes are saved under $XDG_DATA_HOME/notes/$XDG_DATA_HOME is an environment variable defined by the XDG base directory specification and defaults to $HOME/.local/share. This way you can continue to access your notes remotely, if you have a SSH account for example, and fire up your favorite editor ;-)

You probably want to uncheck the option “Skip windows that have skip pager or skip taskbar properties set” of Xfwm4 (Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Cycling). The reason is that the notes plugin sets the skip pager hint so it doesn’t clutter your pager, but you still want to access your notes by cycling to them with Alt+Tab.

Usage

All the shortcuts shown here are valid in the notes plugin. For all the rest you can use the shortcuts from your window manager. For instance on Xfwm4 Alt+Mouse0/2 lets you move/resize the window.
