.txtnotes by clicking the "New Note" button -You could also make a .md by adding.mdto the end of the note. - Manage Notes: View, rename, and delete notes directly from the activity bar.
- Quick Access: All notes are accessible from the activity bar, making it easy to switch between your code and notes.
- Persistent Notes: Notes are stored globally, so they can be accessed across all projects in your VS Code environment.
- Rename and Delete: Click on any note to rename or delete it.
- New Note: Ctr + Shift + P to bring up the command palette and type "Create A New Note" to create a new note.
Here's how the VS-QuickNotes extension looks in action:
Tip: You can customize the look and behavior of the extension through VS Code's settings.
VS-QuickNotes does not have any external dependencies. It works out of the box in any VS Code environment, but you should be using VS Code version 1.60.0 or higher to ensure compatibility.
VS-QuickNotes does not currently add any additional settings, but future releases may include more customizable options such as note templates or custom note directories.
- Opening the Notes Panel: Click the VS-QuickNotes icon in the activity bar to open the notes panel.
- Creating a New Note: Click on the "New Note" button, and you'll be prompted to give the note a name.
- Viewing Notes: Click on any note from the list to open it in a new tab.
- Renaming Notes: Right-click on any note and choose the "Rename" option. You will be prompted to enter a new name for the note (the
.txtextension is handled automatically). - Deleting Notes: Right-click on any note and select "Delete" to remove it from your list.
- No Multi-File Support: Currently, each note is created as an individual
.txtor.mdfile. Future updates may include support for other file types. - Cross-System Compatibility: Notes are stored in the global storage location of VS Code, meaning they're specific to the VS Code environment and not synced across different machines automatically.
