Revision 14.
</p>
<p>Inspired by "A-Note": <a href="http://a-note.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://a-note.sourceforge.net/</a></p>
<p>And based on these tricks: </p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11544187/tkinter-resize-text-to-contents" rel="nofollow">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11544187/tkinter-resize-text-to-contents</a></li>
</ul>
<p>But here I am using my improved version of the automatic resized Text widget:

</ul>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>The note is draggable</li>
<li>You can minimize the note at the left side of the screen or maximize it</li>
<li>You can hide the contents of the note</li>
<li>Hotkeys to save content of note to a file, open content of file inside a note and show help.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please, comment me whether you see some bug.</p>

<p>I dislike filling my desktop with shortcut icons in Windows.
This code enables creating shortcuts in a CSV file.</p>
