Sidebar Notes
A lightweight VS Code extension that adds a simple note-taking area to the sidebar — ideal for writing quick thoughts, reminders, or temporary text while coding.
Features
1. Sidebar Notepad
- Opens directly inside the VS Code sidebar.
- Provides a single, large textarea for typing notes.
- Supports typing, editing, and clearing manually — just like a plain text pad.
2. Theme Integration
- The note area automatically adapts to your current VS Code theme:
- Works seamlessly in light, dark, and high-contrast themes.
3. Minimal UI
- Clean layout — no menus, no toolbars.
- Uses the font family
Consolas, Courier, monospacefor a code-friendly look. - Displays placeholder text when empty: “Write your notes here...”
Current Limitations
- Notes are not saved after closing VS Code.
- No sync, commands, or persistent storage yet.
- Focused purely on layout and theme adaptation for now.
