I don't know why I never thought of this before.

# A little zsh sticky-note ("post-it") application.  Sticky notes are
# stored in the file named by the STICKYFILE variable (defaults to
# $HOME/.zsticky).  The number of notes stored is STICKYSIZE (1000).
#
# May be bound as a widget:
#    zle -N sticky-note
# And/or run as a command:
#    sticky-note
#    sticky-note -b
#    sticky-note -l ...
# With the -l option, lists previous sticky notes.  Most options of the
# "fc -l" command are supported for selecting which notes to display.
# The -b option is like "zed -b": installs keymaps/bindings only.
#
# Otherwise invokes the line editor with the previous notes available
# as an editor history.  Two quick taps on the return/enter key finish
# the note, or you can use use ^X^W as usual (ZZ in vicmd mode).

# I encourage all you creative people to contribute enhancements ...
# no-prize for the first person to put the most recent sticky note in
# his PS1 string.
