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

Posted Dec 1, 2022Hi,
I have an issue (looks similar) between HandyNotes & NPCTime, as well as HandyNotes & Mount Tooltip.
Both LUA errors popped up when opening the map and mousing over something.
Have reported the LUA to the respective addon pages as well.

Posted Nov 19, 2022Replacing "if WoWRetail then" with "if true then" makes the first condition block always execute. I commented out f:Show() and added a line for f:Hide() so it never changes state and never shows the note input dialog. This works for me in-game. Thank you to brunokbcao for identifying which file/line the offending keybind is located at!

Posted Nov 17, 2022If you really don't use the "add a note" feature using alt + click and once that is conflicting with TomTom, you can safely disable it by editing the file Interface\Addons\HandyNotes\HandyNotes_HandyNotes.lua at line 472, replacing
by
That will disable the whole block, at least until the author provides a way to configure the shortcuts. You can still add a note with /hnnew x, y after this edit.

Posted Nov 17, 2022For the love of god please listen to the previous comments and change/remove the alt+rightclick keybind, or at the very least give us the option to change it. I like HandyNotes, but not being able to make TomTom waypoints is unbearable.

Posted Nov 10, 2022I had to stop using Handynote because it is now impossible for me to use it in correlation with Tomtom, all the left or right clicks except one being apparently monopolized by the "addons" internal to Blizzard. Or maybe I missed a configuration option...

to make a note on the map, just input /hnnew that will put one where you are, if you want one in a specific location, just do this /hnnew x, y

That's not the point. TomTom already has a simple command that sets coordinates with a waypoint, we don't need to use an even more complex script in HandyNotes. In TomTom, Alt-Left Click is used to quickly create a waypoint using a specific location on the map without knowing the coordinates of the location. TomTom used to use Control-Left Click, but Blizzard decided to use that command for their crappy built-in coordinate/waypoint system, thereby forcing TomTom to use another command.

Posted Nov 9, 2022New feature "Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note" conflicts with an existing hotkey I was using for TomTom. There needs to be a way to reassign this key in the options (I only see scale, alpha, and profile options but no where is there a way to unbind the key or reassign it).

Thankfully TomTom allows you to change the hotkey, whereas it appears handynotes does not.
I have no idea when they changed this, I feel up to like literally earlier today this functionality didn't conflict.

I came here to try and find out how to stop this conflict as I use the TomTom Alt-RightClick much much more! This definitely did not conflict before as I was using both seamlessly. Thank you for the note about TomTom, I guess I'll have to change on there until HandyNotes makes it toggle-able.
