About this mod
This is a changed, updated, and fixed version of the addon Notebooks by Glen348 that is now outdated.

There is only one notebook now, instead of three. I personally use Shift+F and F1 to display the notebook (KeyBindings -> User Interface -> Notebook.) /nb also displays it.
Recommendations:
- Backup your notes outside of the game! You can copy & paste them anywhere, like a .txt file or your Google Docs, or...
- Back up your data file by copying it or with Google Drive Sync at:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables\Notebook2018.lua - Before changing your character's name, back up its Notebook. [I haven't tested this myself, so please post in the comment if a name-change loses its Notebook or not.] (Shouldn't affect the Account-Wide Notebook.)
- After writing meaningful changes to your Notebook, you must use /reloadui (in the chat) to immediately save them to file! Otherwise, there is a risk that a game-crash will lose all those changes.
This fork changes the following:
- Fixed positioning of elements.
- Fixed a bug with page options displaying incorrectly for new pages.
- Improved default settings.
- Using Escape now closes the notebook (as part of SCENE_MANAGER.)
- Fixed and changed when confirmation dialogues appear.
- Double clicking a word will only select that word. Please use Ctrl+A to select the whole page. (This can be changed in Settings.)
- Fixed the Title and Page from showing and allowing writing, when there is no page selected.
- The button in chat is now positioned better, and its position can't be changed.
- The settings menu is now organized by categories.
- Max characters per page is 1,900. NOTE: Unicode characters take extra space! And up to 3,000 characters can be displayed for editing purposes.
And adds the following:
- New Page Title now defaults to current time and date (or "New Page" if that fails.)
- Page moving Up / Down buttons for sorting pages easily.
- Text Formatting display mode that shows colors, images, and more. It's on by default when not editing the text.
- An option in Settings for when Edit Mode is entered and exited (default is Clicking.)
- An option in Settings to select a default New Page Title.
- An Account-Wide mode that uses the same Notebook for all characters in your account. Its pages & settings are separate and do not affect the characters' pages & settings. NOTE: Each character has to activate it for itself.
- An option in Settings to overwrite the Account-Wide Notebook with data from the current character's pages & settings.
- An option in Settings to disable /read and /idle when opening and closing the Notebook.
- An option in Settings for Line Selection with Tripleclick (Doubleclick+1). BUG: Doesn't work correctly with UTF/Unicode characters. Unfixable.
- An option in Settings to change Text Selection highlighting color.
- Scrolling control (and fix) for Formatted and Edit Text modes.
- An option in Settings to disable Formatted Text mode.
- An option in Settings to change the text color in the Notebook.
- When editing a page, a character counter will display at the bottom-right.

And here's all the extra special symbols I found that work in-game, a la notebook / chat.
