Simple and Clean, can be better at window switching

I’m using it for some time now, clean and functional, no unnecessary functions, only issue is the window switching won’t function with this which is a pain when you are working with text as a scratchpad copying to and forth

Un bout de papier pour prendre une petite ou grande note impromptue et... en couleurs si vous le souhaitez.
Merci Erik, je m'en sers à peu près tous les jours.
