Beyond saving anything bigger than a sentence it really has no use.

I almost dropped dead in shock to see they updated MS paint to Paint 3D, but then I realized that Its still intentionally limited and severely clunky to encourage you to spend money on Photoshop. :/

It's hidden behind Candy Crush.

Intentionally limited how?

I don't think that's the reason. MS wouldn't want to maintain the equivalent of PS and users would hate it.

I prefer txt files for config and notes. I don’t care about formatting so word or word pad are too much.

I also use notepad as my goto “paste without formatting” as it’s typically faster to wash the clipboard through notepad than use whatever “paste special” ui an app has.

wow, just realized some of us have been using shortcuts for so long that we don't know when things get moved.

also the "windows" key argument was kinda moot because most keyboard have a key that isn't a "windows" key but works similar...

Works for me on the latest windows. Granted, there's no textbox to type into, but it appears when you start typing.
