Very nice for quick edit! Q: what does the + button do?

Just a really handy, simple text editor. Great for capturing text during a browsing session and cleaning for final use. Nice job!

I think this is the first time I've reviewed an extension, but heck, this is just so handy. I use to have to create "new text document"s all the time to plan out lengthy text messages or emails that I didn't want to create in the tab until they were fully polished. This lets me find les mots juste without fear that my words will escape prematurely. I'm sure I'll find even more uses for it as time goes on.
