            Bug ID: 524398
           Summary: [Feature Request] Add multi-tab support to Sticky Note
                    / Notes widget
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
      Version First master
       Reported In:
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Sticky Note widget
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: 1.0

SUMMARY / USE CASE
    Currently, the Sticky Note widget only provides a single note area per
widget instance. When users have multiple notes or topics to
  organize (e.g., Todo lists, temporary code snippets, quick reminders, meeting
notes), keeping everything in a single plain text note
  makes the content cluttered, hard to read, and inefficient to manage.

    Having to place multiple individual Sticky Note widgets on the
desktop/panel takes up too much screen space. Adding multi-tab (or
  multiple pages) support within a single widget would greatly enhance
productivity and organization.

    CURRENT LIMITATIONS
    - All text is squeezed into one single view, requiring constant scrolling
for long notes.
    - Users cannot easily categorize or switch between different topics/tasks
inside the same widget.
    - Creating multiple desktop widgets for different notes causes desktop
clutter and layout overhead.

    PROPOSED SOLUTION / FEATURE DESCRIPTION
    1. Tab Bar / Page Navigation:
       - Add a subtle, compact tab bar (or top/bottom tabs / dropdown page
switcher) inside the Sticky Note widget.
       - Allow adding new tabs via a "+" button, closing tabs with an "x"
button, and renaming tabs by double-clicking.
    2. Independent Content & Formatting per Tab:
       - Each tab should maintain its own independent text content, scroll
position, and color/formatting if applicable.
    3. Drag & Drop Reordering (Optional Enhancement):
       - Ability to drag and reorder tabs easily.
    4. Clean Minimalist UI:
       - When only one tab exists, the tab bar could optionally be hidden or
stay minimal to preserve the widget's lightweight feel.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
    Multi-tab notes widgets are widely popular and proven in modern
productivity tools (e.g., Notejot, Sticky Notes with pages, modern
  desktop widgets). Adding this feature would make Plasma's built-in Notes
widget significantly more versatile and user-friendly for
  daily workflows.
