That is good to know. Maybe it can be a third option, so that processing of the text will be possible in various ways.
One question is how to represent formatting of the notes text. Maybe two options should be available: (a) raw text only (b) use markdown syntax.
The settings file contains entries such as "app.mainframe.noteeditdialog.placement<i> = []" already. What i am suggesting is to add the UID to it. For example "app.mainframe.noteeditdialog.placement1.uid = <uid>". When a note gets opened search the list of placement and check if an entry with for the respective uid exists. If no entry is found use a default window position.
A simple solution is to store the IDs of the last opened notes along with the placement settings in the "Cintanotes.settings" file. In case a note gets opened, for which a last placement is not available i'd prefer a standard window position. This should be rather easy to implement since it extends existing functionality only. 
To provide an alternative approach i have added a request to export notes to Markdown format. You can vote for it here: Export to Markdown.
Personally i find the current implementation convenient. Though, as Burrum suggested a F-Key might be a solution. Some applications use F8 to delete items which is not yet used otherwise. The advantage would be, that the same key could be used for the notes list and the editor as well. Thus unifying the UI and making Ctrl+Del available. 
This feature has been released with version 2.5. This request can be marked as completed. Btw.: luckily i was able to research this by verifying the readme.txt file.
This request was completed with version 2.7 and can be marked as completed.
With version 2.7.1 it is possible to achieve this functionality by creating a blank bullet item (press Ctrl+L) and pasting content as paragraph (Ctrl+Shift+V). Though this may require an extra step (copy content to clipboard first), this request can be marked as completed.
No, i don't know of any editor who has this function. MS Word and Lotus Word Pro behave the same as CN. That's fine in general. I am not asking to change the current design. This should be a new function including a new shortcut, for example Ctrl+Shift+L.
