The Notepad

Honestly, I've never used it before. Decided to try it out this morning.

The thing doesn't seem to recognize a simple carridge return/line feed command. There's nothing in the manual that explains how to enter/edit basic text so I assume it's just a simple little text input device. But if you can't even enter a line return, what's the point? Or am I missing something?

yes, quite annoying... and if you took the time to use the space bar to make lines, and you want to widen the surface after that, you can start all over again.
ah well. spaceF's memo or info tool will serve your purpose better i think. which brings me to the next:
it would be nice, if we could change the names of modules appearing in the routing window, like you can with the dynamixer. for audio i/o modules you can somehow already do this using the destination modules (although not ideal). but i'd also like to rename midi modules, the '?' from spaceF's module, stuff like 'Guitar_Bluesman_Celmo_P' or other modules that take way too much space in the routing window. (i tried copying the devices, and renaming them. didn't work...).

Line return in the notepad is
ctrl + enter

Thanks! Just curious. Is that printed in the manual somewhere because I saw nothing about that.

That's a 'Window's Notepad' replacement, not an SFP one, no?

For me, the (SFP) notepad gets 'stuck' at its screen location and I can't move it...I tend to use the one in Cubase for making project notes.

Of course, Windows. Backward compatible to Win 1.0, so with 64 kB buffer limit. Yeah, thanks MS, we need that.
The dutch version can open UNIX text files without having to word wrap and insert returns to make 'em readable. And you can save as UNIX text file. I wonder if they found it this time at TechEd in Amsterdam...

Personally I use Textpad because I do a bit of light coding and web dev as well as my normal graphic & audio dabblings. It does take a few minutes of using the program's own preference setting for assigning file types (by adding the extension internally) but the features outweigh the tiny learning curve. Not something I typically recommend just for jotting down simple notes btw.
