There are many text editors or notepads for Linux, some classics from the Unix world, others try to innovate and provide new functions, as well as other projects try to copy to other blocks such as Windows. But maybe you did not know an interesting project available for your distro called Basket and it is part of the rich KDE ecosystem (it can be installed in other environments without problem, as you should know).

This notepad it can help you on a day-to-day basis so that you don't forget anything and organize your life. But it is not a simple pad like any other, but it provides what is known as baskets or drawers that you can add and manage at will. Inside each of these baskets you can drag and drop all kinds of objects (texts, links, images, etc.).

The objects that are added to the drawers by categories, they can be edited, copied, etc., for a very simple management by the user. That way, you can keep everything you need close at hand, where you want it, and with notes added.

    But if this program has been abandoned for decades, no? I don't think it's wise to recommend an outdated program.
