Open notes in separate window from plex

I would like the option of opening the notes section in a separate window on my second screen instead of having it attached to the side of the plex in the same window.

This is somewhat possible now with opening a second window of the brain and maximizing the notes on there, but when I navigate to a different thought, I then have to navigate on both windows separately, which is a pain. I have not found any way or information about splitting the two otherwise.

    I run TheBrain on my laptop which is my PC device where desk real estate is limited on a 4K screen. I typically run a number of apps when using TheBrain doing stock charting and a number of other function. I am trying to integrate TheBrain on my desktop and am challenged given the large size of the toolbar/icons and interface in general. It would be really cool if the Notes editor could pop out as a minimalist text window similiar to mIRC..for those of who used IRC back in the day. I would love to be able to use have a simple text editor with a title bar with the text saying TheBrain15: Note Title. I have submitted a sample image of popout window to give you a general idea but you may consider taking this popout to the next level using tabs so you could have access to multiple notes via a tab. I have attached an example of a Notes Editor only window and while it functionally works, the title bar, tabs and task bar take up 1/4 the size of the window. I am on a 4K screen and am trying to use the Brain as a trading log but the sheer size reduced the number of market data items i can see during the trading day.

    What i would suggest is to use the icon on the title bar as a launch bar for the menu which could launch an icon ribbon or menu bar. If it were up to me i would doc the ribbon on top of the title bar as well as the menu bar and / or search.

    Keyboard short short cuts would the above extras. I don't konw if there is an option to insert a time and date with respect to the comments would also be welcome.

    Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss. This would improve the usability of TheBrain for those who are screen real estate constrained.
