Stickey Notes

Post by VictorParkerPIM »

When I'm using sticky Notes, if I use two or more and later use Ctrl Shift + I to show all sticky's, often one gets covered by another.
Is there a way to keep this from happening?

On your computer what does Ctrl+Shift+I do?

On my it adds a tab which is interesting, I had no idea there was a way to add tabs other then with a tab key.

edit:

It seems like Ctrl+Shift+I adds tabs in a handful of odd programs around my system that certainly don't need tabs, which makes me think it might be an unintentional shortcut key that might be messing with some programs that is built into some software tool kits perhaps.

@Triple S
If you have Ctrl+Shift+I reserved for something else in EPIM/another program, you can change in Tools > Options > Shortcut > Global > Show All Stickies (Ctrl+Shift+I is the default here).

@VictorParkerPIM
In my experience, the ones that are under 'blink' above the top one for a moment.
And after seeing that I double click on the headers and then move them all around to avoid covering. I don't think it ever happen to me that two sticky notes were exactly one above the other in rolled-up state, so it works for me.

An animated GIF in the attachments:
1. I intentionally put sticky notes one above another.
2. Several times press the hotkey.
3. Double-click on the header to see them all again.

The sticky notes are saved the same size and same position.
And sure you can move them to different positions and next time they are not on top of each other.
(Three Notes on top of each other)

I think the best way to address this would be create new stickies in a bit different position than the previous one.
