Also absolutely bummed out that this feature was deprecated, I would hope that cursor would have stats on how much this feature was loved, and will then think about getting it back

The export notepads feature worked great when i updated to 2.0
I would like to see notepads return, they were a good place for, erm, notes

Alternative is using some notepad extension like
which creates a notepad area that is shared between all workspaces.
It’s just one note however, so far from the same feature.
The low tech alternative is to just have Notepad++ open all the time, which is what I went back to doing after trying Cursor’s notepad feature before it was deprecated. I get people’s frustrations, but I agree that Cursor should deprecate features that have outlived their original use (with warnings so people aren’t surprised of course).

In notepads you could reference files like you do in the agent chat.
Curious why this is not included in Commands. Is it because of reusability? If you share a Command, obviously those dependencies won’t be included?
How do people handle when a Command needs some context/file you have in your codebase? Do you manually give it as an “argument” to the Command every time?
Cheers!
Notepad is super useful to me…
Removing it is so far the only update I feel disappointed about cursor!! 
Erm… where the heck are my notepads? I had information stored there I need.
There are some posts above talking about how to recover/export them. Could give it a shot.
