SBSettings 1.0.4 has added a new notepad widget which can be quickly recalled across applications.

New Toggle Addon
While messing around, I decided to write a new widget for SBSettings. This is not a toggle but another type of addon which I think shows the flexibility and power of this app. Note that this addition was done without modification to the main app.

The addition is a text widget - a quick notepad. You can type some text in it, and recall it later. But since it runs inside SBSettings, you can recall it from within another app. To see how this may be useful consider this. Suppose you get an SMS that’s a password for a website. You cant remember it very easily so you want to write it down. Ok you pull up SBSettings while the SMS app is open and type the password into the text box. Later you open Safari and go to the web page that requires hte password. Now you can just pull up SBSettings while Safari is open, read the password, and type it in. (Sorry, no copy and paste but I think it’s still pretty neat).

In the picture there is a Killtasks button, cant seem to be able to locate it for SBSetings. It is in Cydia from what I can tell. Anyone know where I can find it? Thanks

Useful, but would be better if when you launched the notepad it closed the sbsettings in the background, since it gets in the way of the keyboard when trying to type out what you stored in the notepad.
