    Can't use tab key on Sticky Notes


    I am aware that the tab key is not supposed to work on Sticky Notes. Isn't Alt + 0-9 supposed to work? Whenever I use the Alt + 0 shortcut, nothing happens, and I have to restart my computer in order for Ctrl + Shift + L (toggle bullets shortcut, unrelated) to work. Why is this happening? I am on Windows 10 1903.

    :)

  2. Tabs in Sticky Notes

    Hi. I would really like to have a tabs-feature in Sticky Notes. I have a sticky note pinned to my desktop, I use it as a work to-do list and like that it is always there without having to open a task-app every time I need to see the list.

    However, I would like to split my to-do list in sections/topics, one list for this and one list for that. I'm thinking something like in OneNote where I can add one or more tabs at the top. In that way I could easily toggle between the different lists in
    the different tabs in the same sticky note.

    Alternative is to have more individual sticky notes on my desktop (takes a lot of space), or having a long list in the one sticky note with seperating headers in between the different sections/topics (which forces me to scroll up and down to see all the
    stuff). None of the alternatives are optimal.

    Not sure if this is possible today, anyone know?

  3. Tab button not working on Sticky Notes

    There's nothing you can do right this moment to enable tabbing in the latest version of the Sticky Notes app. The programming team that builds the Sticky Notes app is aware of top requests like bulleted/number lists, and I've also submitted feedback that
    the ability to use tab characters/indent is requested (you can help by voting on that suggestion in your built-in feedback app).

    Sticky Notes - Tab

    The most recent major update to the Sticky Notes app in Windows (I believe happened in August) removed the ability to indent within a sticky note. Previously, pressing the tab key would indent a line of text, but now it simply shifts the focus of the cursor
    to the "+" button at the top left of the sticky note.

    Please revert the function of the tab key to what it used to be so we can include indents in our sticky notes without having to just spam the space key a bunch of times.
