Normally we need to open a notepad either by creating one in a folder (right click > New > Text Document) or by just opening it from Start Menu / Desktop / Quick Launch / Hot Key and later saving it. But both this processes needs additional time for saving.
Also have you felt the need for removing formatting of a copied text for pasting it in a word processor?
Notepad is again in rescue there.
But if you want to cut off the additional time of saving and renaming those text document I have a suggestion for you. Use Flashnote instead. I am using it for some time and is highly pleased.
Features
- Flash Note is Multilingual. It supports 12 languages.
- The application is set to start automatically with windows. It remains in the tray.
- Flashnote minimizes / closes to tray. Esc key is good for hiding it. It can be set to show on top of all windows.
- It updates automatically per month. There is no options for changing connection settings. So it won't check for updates under proxy with authentication.
- Easily launching the application by Alt + S. You can of course assign a new one of your convenience but make sure that it doesn't coincides with existing ones.
- If you want to quit the application right click on tray and select "Exit" or use the Hot Key Alt + X. It will ask for confirmation by default.
- If you want to create a new note if saves the new note as "New Note *Date* *Time*". Date and Time format will be the same as you PC's format. You will of course be able to rename the auto-renamed notes. You may even choose to keep that note at the top.
- By default a new note gets filled with clipboard content.
- New Note and New Child Note (Sub-Note) can be opened using the Hot Key, Ctrl + N and Ctrl + Shift + N respectively. Notes can be renamed using F2 key. of course for all this to be done the UI remains opened and selected.

- The word processor in Flashnote is very basic. It is probably based on notepad. So, it helps removing text formatting automatically like Notepad.
