 +====== xfce4-notes-plugin - Notes ======
  
 +**Ideal for your quick notes**
 +
 +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 with a Post-It note.

 +
 +===== Usage =====
 +
 +  - [[:xfce:xfce4-panel:add-new-items|Add the plugin to the panel]].
 +  - Right-click on the added plugin, select **Properties** to open the settings window. 
 +
 +==== Some Tips ====
 +
 +Notes are saved under ''$XDG_DATA_HOME/notes/'' — ''$XDG_DATA_HOME'' is an environment variable defined by the [[http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/|XDG base directory specification]] and defaults to $HOME/.local/share.
 +
 +Window Manager Hint: 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.
