If you use the Notes app to take notes while doing research or attending meetings, you should know about the Keep On Top feature that allows you to keep a Notes window floating above other windows at all times.

Consistently amazing! The amount of helpful,
clearly expressed detail you provide. I had stumbled on the Control-Arrow key command, yet not knowing why it was invoked I had ignored it. Now maybe it can be useful. Thank you for putting in the research time to help all of us.

This was great to learn. I’ve been frustrated when I compose posts for social media in Notes and then have to toggle back-and-forth between abs. Thanks for this significant timesaver!

I use Notes as my Second Brain so this is a game changer for me to be able to keep a note on top as I make notes from other apps. As a long time Mac user (39 years) I continue to learn new things about the OS.

I found easier to press ^ + 1/2/3/4... representing the space, where you want the on-the-top window - this way you can drag with right hand and switch the space with left.

What a great thing, thanks Gary. I find CotEditor is a great note taker and, surprise, surprise, it also has the "keep on top option".
