HandyNotes
Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.
Use /handynotes to access options.
You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:
- Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
- Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
- Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.
HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes
this add on needs to be up-to-date or make the others add on that relied on it independently its was good idea when it was updated regularly but now it's like a dam chore for this dude to do so or blizz need to adaped it into the game it self....
All the Handy Notes Add-ons are updated.... they have been for some time now. However, they will NOT work without this one. This is always the last add-on to update; eliminating the value of many great addd-ons. PLEASE UPDATE THIS ADD-ON.
I had to uninstall this addon after the weekly reset/patch on March 25th. Following the update, the addon began displaying icons for nearly every NPC in each zone, which was overwhelming and cluttered the map. I checked the settings thoroughly but couldn’t find an option to disable icons for standard NPCs—only settings related to rares or significant NPCs were available.
This behavior was not present before 3/25/25, and I hadn’t made any changes to the addon settings prior to logging in. I'm not sure if this issue is related to the Chrome King raid becoming available in LFG, but the change significantly impacted usability. Prior to this patch, the addon was excellent—now, unfortunately, it's made the map too cluttered to be functional.
Please update for version 11.1.0 Thanks. I find that the "Handy Notes" series of add-ons are the most use to me than any other add-ons. Bravo.
are you still alive xinhuan can you please update this app please ?

Please update for 11.1.0 .... None of the many Handy Notes Apps will work without this one; and they are all ready and waiting.
please update
how do you delete a note?
Will we ever get a new update for this?
please update
Hi,
Last night I was using the open settings panel under the Handynotes Icon on the map.
Now it's greyed out and I don't know why. I have searched everywhere for an answer
to no avail. Please help.
Thanks and thank you for this addon.
is there a way to use /hnnew and also choose what icon/title is added but use the current location as the coords?
In reply to SonarDonar: if you use /hnnew [xx.xx, xx.xx} (first is x coordinate, second is y coordinate) It will pop open a box to create a personal handy note, and you can enter your own text. Also, shift mouse right click will open a box to edit or delete it.. so the command is /hnnew [x, y} inputting your current coordinates for x and y
Patch 11.0.7 broke it. Several Lua errors.
Hi,
can you update to the latest Classic Era 20th Anniversary Version 1.15.5.
Would be awesome.
Thanks a lot!
Hi. Is it possible to move the "NPCs" button location on the map? It covers up other addon Icons on the map.
Hey,
I play Wow Classic Catalysm, and get always this bug:
4x HandyNotes/HandyNotes_EditFrame.lua:205: CreateFrame(): Couldn't find inherited node "OptionsButtonTemplate"
[string "=[C]"]: in function `CreateFrame'
[string "@HandyNotes/HandyNotes_EditFrame.lua"]:205: in main chunk
Locals:
(*temporary) = "Button"
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = HNEditFrame {
BottomLeftCorner = Texture {
}
titleinputbox = EditBox {
}
descframe = Frame {
}
descscrollframe = HandyNotes_EditScrollFrame {
}
TopLeftCorner = Texture {
}
RightEdge = Texture {
}
desctext = FontString {
}
PixelSnapDisabled = true
continentcheckbox = CheckButton {
}
backdropInfo = <table> {
}
TopRightCorner = Texture {
}
icondropdown = HandyNotes_IconDropDown {
}
descinputbox = EditBox {
}
titleinputframe = Frame {
}
BottomEdge = Texture {
}
title = FontString {
}
TopEdge = Texture {
}
titleTexture = Texture {
}
titletext = FontString {
}
Center = Texture {
}
CloseButton = Button {
}
LeftEdge = Texture {
}
BottomRightCorner = Texture {
}
}
(*temporary) = "OptionsButtonTemplate"
Can it be fixed, or can I do something to get this addon working?
In reply to prickly_swartz3973074:
Edit HandyNotes_EditFrame.lua and
_either_ change line 7 from '100000' to '40401'
_or_ change lines 205 and 212 to just run 'UIPanelButtonTemplate' in either case.
It removes the error, but not sure if it fixes functionality, from the API documentation I've read it should. UIPanelButtonTemplate should be a 1:1 replacement for the deprecated OptionsButtonTemplate
In reply to limbolainen: This helped, thank you :)
