Notepad is a simple tool to manage your personal ingame notes without having to use text files in your file system.
There are both global and character-specific notes.
Links (items, spells, etc.) are supported.
Show or hide Notepad via
- command: /notepad
- key binding
- minimap button
- broker addon (Titan Panel, etc.)
Great! It is a simple and convenient add-on.
I want the ability to announce notes to the selected chat channel.
Really nice and simple addon. Really like that it fits in with the classic style, and isn't doing a hundred other pointless things.
Probably worth mentioning it has a minimap shortcut (I prefer them over commands/key-bindings) in the description. Also minor typo in the description "Links (itmes" :P

thx, it... um... was a test if anyone really reads it. ;) - and you passed - congratulations! :P
Will there be a BCC version?
just uploaded
Does this work with links? Like shift click an item so it shows tooltip?
In reply to Seathasky:
Links are supported, normal click for tooltip, shift click for linking elsewhere. But you cannot copy & paste links.
Hi.
Thx for the addon :)
Would you mind making the windows movable?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hi there,
thanks for your suggestion. The thing is I designed the window (there's only one) to integrate in the UI like all native WoW windows (like char or quest window) which are also not moveable).
But you can simply install MoveAnything and adjust the position as you wish by typing /move Notepad
I hope this solution is suitable to you.
Kind regards.
Great adoon, thanks.
Oh okey well thanks for the info mate! <3 :D
Is it really necesary for the addon to reload the UI when saving a note? its really annoying :P
Hello cosemose,
the answer is: yes and no ;)
IF you want to save your notes actively after editing, then yes, the UI has to be reloaded as this (besides logging out) is the only way Blizzard allows addons to save stuff.
BUT you do not have to click the save button. In this case your notes are saved when logging out with your character. Indeed this is the original way it worked, and I added the save button later due to a change requestet. Of course, in this case unfortunately nothing is saved in the case of a game crash.
I recommend using the save button after editing several stuff (such that you do in no case want to enter again), and just closing the window when editing very little text.
Great addon
A feature to move the order of a note up and down would be great too
In reply to kardus:
Notes are sorted alphabetically and I think most players prefer this over having to sort notes manually.
Furthermore, adding such an option would decrease simplicity (which you said you like^^).
However, if you want to sort your notes in a custom order you can do the same trick that works in a file explorer or email program. Just prefix your notes with numbers like that:
01 First
02 Second
03 Third
04 Forth
...
Thanks for your addon and appreciate the simplicity. Would if be possible for you at add 2-3 small buttons on the interface to /yell or /say, or send the note to the current chat channel?
In reply to kardus:
The addon was designed without limits to note length. And I'm not a fan of flooding chat channels with lots of lots of text, so this is not the best idea in my opinion. And for short text fragments you could use macros as well.
Maybe you can desribe your use case in more detail and I might think about adding such functionality in a future version.
In reply to DarkAtair:
I have quite a bit of mouseover macros for most of my abilities for multiple characters I play, and most of my macro slots are taken up even after using the character specific tab. I also have a bunch of macros for raid instructions/trade chat, LFG etc and I think I could reclaim a lot of my macro slots using something like this. If you do not plan on implementing it do you know anything similar that may have the feature already?
