xPad - 1.2.6

I've been looking for a simple replacement for the old classic notepad for years. I've tried them all. Most notepads are too ambitious (slow, with steep learning curves) or too simple with ugly interfaces. xPad gets it right. I use iOrganize for keeping track of my life (passwords,serial numbers, misc). But xPad now sits on my dock as an essential utility. It opens instantly, and is a great place to store misc. pieces of text etc.until I can organize them more formally.

Many thanks to the creator.

As for the person who said you can't make bulleted or numbered lists in xPad, there is a work-around (though it's not automatic; you still have to type the bullet or number on each line):

• Press alt-8 (makes a round bullet in most fonts) or enter the first number.
• Set a tab where you want text after bullet/number to begin.
• On the next line, move the left margin triangle (the lower part of the margin guide) to the same distance that the tab was set. This is a hanging indent, and subsequent lines of text will wrap to that point.
• You can apply this throughout the document with "copy ruler" and "paste ruler" or you can save it as a style: (1) Select (highlight) the line where you made the hanging indent. (2) Press "Styles" in the drop-down menu at the top, then select "Other." (3) Click on "Favourite Style." (4) At the prompt, enter a name for the favourite style (call it "Hanging Indent"), and from then on it will appear in your "Styles" menu.
