Do you have a use case for wanting it to be on top? I don't want to add unnecessary features because I'm making a conscious effort to keep things simple. So if you could describe a situation where it would be helpful, I might consider it. But at the moment, I'm hesitant.

PS: If you really want a certain note to be always on top, you can click the note and hit Alt+Space, then check "Always On Top".

Let's say I have some text on it and I am entering it on a textfield on the browser. There's no sane way to do it without "Always on top"

Thanks for the tip!

Hi,
I just want to say that this feature "always on top" would be useful for me to.
Please notice that avery user is not aware of the "Alt+Space" shortcut.

Thanks anyway.

I thought about this recently, and I think that this would be a good idea. I'm currently very busy, so I cannot work on this now, but I'll try implementing this in a few months.

I would love to see this feature too. When I need to do a lot of similar cut+paste tasks in the browser, keeping the notes on top all the time is an essential feature. I thought, that the 'locking' feature provided exactly that. But seems like I was wrong.

This has been fixed. It's part of the categories drop down menu (where I intend to put all new options, because I want to cap the number of buttons to 4).
