We can't do that now since then the user will have no visual clue that not all notes are displayed.

One of possible solutions to this is here:

 We have tried to implement this (with Shift+F7) but there're unfortunately technical difficulties: we've found no reliable way to make it work (open several URLs in different tabs) for all browsers. Either a new window is opened for each URL, or the same tab is used over and over, leaving only the last URL open.

Shift+F7 will be there in 1.8.3, but if it's not working for your browser, there's probably little we can do.

Sorry.

 Sorry for late reply!

No, there's no such option at this moment.
