I created a very simple form with an edit control to allow me to write a few temporary notes, copy code snippets or whatever while I am working. Have not gone as far as saving/reloading them (yet?). I could easily keep a text doc open among the other source files, but I really don't like doing that. It just gets lost among the many other files I open. And having to open win notepad is not what I am after either.
I was thinking it would be nice if there were a dockable Notes window like Search Results, Build, Message List (etc.) that I could just keep a few notes to refer back to as I am working. Also, I am not talking about a todo list. That is a different thing. With a dockable/floating window I could group it below with the others like i do now and allow it to auto-hide/pin it whenever I needed it.
I am open to suggestions as to how to create a custom one using slick-C if that is possible. I have written several macros over the years. While not an expert I am comfortable with it.
