Dear Monks

I like to know if we have the ability to add the nodes to personal nodelet or scratchpad without turning on the 'Personal Nodelets'.
Such a thing would be helpful especially when your personal nodelet grows more than few links.
The ability to view nodes in personal nodelet as a page instead of nodelet would be helpful too..

    The things I use frequently like Scratch Pad Viewer and Nodes to Consider I keep on my personal nodelet but other things eventually get moved to my home node.

    ---
print map { my ($m)=1<<hex($_)&11?' ':'';
$m.=substr('AHJPacehklnorstu',hex($_),1) }
split //,'2fde0abe76c36c914586c';

    Once upon a time we had that feature (i thought it up). It was made obsolete soon after.

    You can see discussion of it at add to (Personal Nodelet|Scratchpad) links

    If you go down to the bottom of user settings, and check the box marked "Collapse List". You can view all the links at user settings, and the rest of the time you have a collapsed personal nodelet.

    One thing that has been bugging me about the personal nodelet is that we can only put very simple links in there. It doesn't understand the entire PM linking dialect, only "nodename", "nodeid" and "nodename|arbitrary link name". I'd find it tremendously more useful if it also understood the other variants, esp "http://absolute.link.com/foo". F.ex, I use my scratchpad to keep often posted links ready for copypaste, and being able to put a link to it in a quick to reach place would be very convenient.

    I also don't like how it turns "979|the fearless" into the equivalent of [979|the fearless] instead of [id://979|the fearless].

    I'd really like if the personal nodelet understood the full PM linking dialect - one could also put a "cpan://Foo" link in there f.ex. Many things would be more convenient.

    Thinking about this, and how I didn't quite like how that the nodelet allocates an entire line to even very short links, I came up with another possible solution: make the personal nodelet a freetext field. That way people could put absolutely anything in there. Me, I would put those oft-posted snippets in there, rather than taking a roundtrip via my scratchpad. An "add to personal nodelet" link would be stil be possible - just the way the "add to scratchpad" one works.

    The more I think about that idea, the more sense it makes to me. Any comments?
