That too. > anyway, just disable the paste option from your middle click button in desktop > settings, then just delete the notes as any other plasmoid widget Center click is one of my favorite tools, so I don't want to disable it right now. Deleting a note isn't so easy; there's been a fair amount of discussion on the web about how to remove widgets, none of it informative. I would have thought that if a note is right clicked, a menu would appear with an option to delete the note. When I right click one of these notes a menu does appear with many options for editing the note, but no option to delete it. An ordinary note is larger and has a border at the bottom, which when right clicked produces a option to delete it. Further advice is solicited.
