HandyNotes
Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.
Use /handynotes to access options.
You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:
- Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
- Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
- Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.
HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes
Thank you for the update , love your addon :D
Since it is update day and the author has once again chosen not to put in an option that allows users to NOT override the TomTom keybind that has existed for ages:
The fix/workaround is further down the comments still, and credits to brunokbcao and durandal42 for making it, so just to put it here for better visibility:
In Handynotes/HandyNotes_HandyNotes.lua, line 473:
Replace:
if WoWRetail then
with:
if true then elseif WoWRetail then
Alt-RightClick has been used in HandyNotes since the addon was created in 2008, and its not changing now. I would argue 2008 to 2024 is also quite "for ages".
In reply to nevcairiel:
When running HandyNotes along TomTom, a match made in heaven, previously Alt+RMB would default to placing a TomTom waypoint. This has been the case for many expansions, as far as I can remember.
As of this change from v1.6.11 released on November 2022 that behaviour has changed. From here onward the comment section of HandyNotes has had many people commenting about this change. Users have also raised these issues. The fact that people are still commenting about it, should tell you this change was not appreciated by all.
I sincerely ask you to reconsider at least adding an option for people to re-bind or disable the feature.
Hi,
first of all, I want to say great adddon!
Could you update it to the latest Classic Era Game Version of 1.15.1?
Would be awesome, thanks a lot in advance!
I realize i lost all my notes today...... I spent the entire expansion adding notes to complete all i needed later and all is gone, I am really sad.
Anyone knows of a similar addon? I can´t use any handynotes addon because this one is not updated and in game i see i need the basic one to use the rest of them. But there are no updates in the last months and no answers so please...i anyone knows...tell us
Any updates planned soon for 10.2.5?
if u can't update your add then can u at least tell us how to do it ourselves
Could you separate these two buttons?"Hide this note" and "Restore all hidden notes". Many times after "Hide this note" I click on "Restore all hidden notes" and start over. It's quite annoying. Thanks
Dude update your aaddon alright. Where at 10.2.5 for christ sake.
How can I change the keybind to add a new note on the map? I've used Alt+RightClick for a long time and I don't wanna change it.
Thanks!
Please update if possible , thanks for this great addon .
First wanted to say thanks for all the work you have done on this addon over the years. Really a great one.
Would it ever be possible to edit the pre-made notes from this and other plugins? So like if I'm hunting old rares I could add info to the note about spawn time or random things? Not even a full edit functionality would be needed, just an additional line or two.
I find myself often having to add extra notes nearby a rare note and the map can get a little cluttered.
Hi,
first of all, I want to say great adddon!
Could you update it to the latest Classic Era Game Version of 1.15.0 (Season of Discovery)?
Would be awesome, thanks a lot in advance!
Does anyone know of an alternative for this? As of today, the add-on isn't working anymore and not showing anything.
Great addon. Please update
