What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Occasionally, or sometimes more, I have to refer to something not available in the BBCcode drop-down menu. Sometimes it's my list of Containers, sometimes it's image sizes, sometimes It's available fonts or my notes on my CSS design. Regardless, I'm usually digging in three other windows and several layers of the Codex to find what I need.    

How does this feature request address the current situation?

My suggestion is a pop-out "Cheat Sheet" Similar to the CSS pop-out when viewing a world. The Cheat Sheet would be customizable with whatever notes a World Author needs to keep on hand. Individual articles have the "Scrapbook" Feature, but this is per-article. Alternatively, an option to access a Notebook without having to open and keep another tab open.    

What are other uses for this feature request?

The Cheat Sheet is meant for notes and design concepts that need to be consistent across the world, but can also be used to refer to certain items of the Codex such as reccomended image sizes.   Cheet Sheat would be limited in size as it's meant to be similar to a 3x5 index card during your exam-important notes and formulas, not your entire CSS styling sheet.   Hides as everyone explains an already available feature

The Team's Response

Thanks for your suggestion! You can pin your notebook to have it always available in the bottom right corner of the screen. Just open the green hammer button and click on the pin icon next to "Note". Since your can use your notebook as a cheat sheet in this way, we're declining this suggestion.

    I think just being able to have easier access to the Notebook would help a lot. Also having easier access to the list of variables would help.

    This would be very helpful for me, I also often have several tabs open trying to figure out what symbols and words are needed in what order to get the format I want

    I would use notes currently. But that does not mean we cannot have a template or something there to guide newbies to record certain things that we know they might need to go back to. I have yet to meet anyone who didn't have some sort of manually created style guide/reference notes. So not a whole module, but maybe a pre-made template in the Notes. Especially since Notes are so easy under the new UI! :)

    I'd recommend using the Notes part of the green button for this :D I use it to keep handy BBCode or CSS snippets or my most used containers & variables.
