Notes Feature is huge, I love it.
I love the new notes feature. such good implementation. Having ability to pin to game, fantastic.

Few issues I have to perfect it. Code blocks should allow me to press tab to indent like in any standard code editor, the indent and out-dent buttons don't seem to do anything (don't know if I'm doing something wrong) and I would love to see format shortcuts identical to markdown implemented.

defiantly needs a publish/save button which allows you to save notes to specific file path. I can only find the notes in a Steam\userdata\(steam id)\(random string of numbers)\remote file path. the file looks like a config file and is formatted in a user unfriendly way. top priority on my wish list is the ability to save notes as either rich text or plain txt files.

Great new feature I will be using all the time, just needs a few tweaks to make it perfect. thanks for the new toys :steamhappy: :goodhero:

It is truly a gamechanger! Especially for games where you have to digest and keep track of a lot of data (simulators, certain rpgs, or whatever really). Very useful, especially the pin feature!

There are things that need to be impoved just like you said.

The only thing I am missing now ... Is a calculator to go with it :winter2019coolyul:

I definitely agree that the notes need some sort of manual save function. At very least a save indicator to let you know your note has been saved.

Also would definitely love to see a calculator in the new overlay.

Who would've thunk that a f***n NOTEPAD would be such a big deal
well, turns out it is... valve nailed it this time!

I'm suddenly 8 again, taking notes, writing stuff up and getting real invested from games... It's a whole other level of immersion, man.

It's awesome that they added it to Steam, I love that they added it to the Library page for each game as well. It's quite useful.

I agree with your suggestions, lets hope such things get added over time. They've been updating the beta a lot and I see they've added/fixed many things suggested by people.

Has any1 Had the problem of Losing the note they made because all the game overlays have their own specific notes for the game?

I made notes not concerning a specific game and was wondering if the overlay can allow me to have the same notes for all the games instead of just one. btw same problem with tabs . when I switch games the note I was writing because It is a completely new overlay. witch is annoying, so the option to Have one note list for over all your games would be nice. so I could pick up were I left off.
