I regularly put notes in VW files using the text tool and place those notes on a layer plane. I create a class for them so I can turn them on and off. I then create a saved view from Top/Plan with the class on so I can quickly navigate to those notes. This process is a little cumbersome. But, I use these for tracking renders (what looked good, what didn't), notes that I'll want to put on a Title Block later, to-do lists, general scratch data, etc. Very good workflow optimization. For obvious reasons it's much easier to place and read notes on a Sheet Layer than in Design Layers.
However, it would be amazing if there was a "Notes" palette - essentially a global place where you can put Rich Text notes that aren't dependent on being able to see them in a particular view. Scratch data would be incredibly useful and I can see many different useful use-cases for this implementation!
Features:
Break-away palette
Traditional shortcut keys when in the palette (I.e., Bold, Italic, Underline)
Multiple notes Tabs
Rich Text
Strikethrough
Links (for URLs and can link to other local files, like PDFs)
Lists
Scroll Bar
Notes Tabs become Resources in the RM so you can easily navigate and add back in an accidentally closed Notes tab.
