Built-In Notepad for Chrome - Add a Note Taking Extension
Enhance Chrome with a Built-in Notepad: Chromepad
Do you find yourself frequently switching to separate text editors simply to jot down quick notes? Now, a convenient notepad can be integrated directly into Google Chrome through the Chromepad extension.
Installation Process
Upon initiating the installation, a confirmation prompt will appear. Select “Install” to successfully add Chromepad to your Google Chrome browser.
Following a successful installation, a confirmation message will be displayed, along with the newly added “Toolbar Button”.
Accessing Chromepad Options
There are three distinct methods for accessing the configuration options for Chromepad. You can right-click the “Toolbar Icon”, navigate to the “Chrome Extensions Page”, or utilize the menu within the drop-down window itself.
The “Options Page” presents a user interface focused on the “LocalStorage Text Box”.
If you previously used an older version of the extension and experienced note loss during an update, they can be recovered here. You can restore them to the drop-down window. This was observed during an update to the latest version in a portable installation.
Using Chromepad
Clicking the “Chromepad Toolbar Button” reveals a compact drop-down text window, complete with a helpful menu.
The size of the window can be adjusted while composing notes by utilizing the “Extend Grip” located in the lower right corner.
Please note that the drop-down window will revert to its default size upon closing and reopening.
Currently, a default font cannot be specified, so the text appearance may vary based on your browser’s font settings. The notes created in our example demonstrate a pleasing visual style. Importantly, your notes are preserved even after browser restarts, allowing you to resume where you left off.
It’s important to remember that images cannot be incorporated into the notes.
For added flexibility, the drop-down window can be detached from the browser—a particularly useful feature.
In Conclusion
Chromepad is a remarkably beneficial (and strongly recommended) Google Chrome extension designed to assist you in managing and retaining notes collected throughout your daily activities.
