✅ Ability to Turn Off Notes

[arequestions]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar feature requests in both open and closed discussions and cannot find an existing request.
• I have verified that the feature is still missing from the latest stable versions of Elementor or Elementor Pro.

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..

Hi,
Can you please bring back the ability to enable/disable notes? Notes create a compatibility issue with another plugin that is essential to our site, and due to this conflict, we cannot delete users. Before, we were able to disable the Notes, so we were able to resolve the issue, but since the recent update on 04/16/2024, we can't disable the notes, and we can't delete users.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Bring back to enable/disable notes.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I'm going to comment so this hopefully brings it back above the spam. I too, do not like the Notes feature. I left a comment on Wordpress but I figure I'd put my 2¢ here as well. Being forced to use Notes is a big detriment to our team workflow. We have other systems in place that we utilize that don't require us to have another thing to keep track of inside sites we manage. Please return the ability to turn off notes.

[arequestions]

Thank you for supporting this. We don't have a proper workaround, which is a big headache for our site.

+1. Give us an option to disable it.

[paradoxalyty]

Many of us use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+c to open developer mode in Chrome. Instead, the Elementor notes are sporadically activated.
Please change the shortcut.

Please provide us the control to turn off notes.

Plugins elbowing their way into the admin-bar without the possibility to disable this intrusion is just disrespectful to the users, and bad UI design. It smells like a bad Themeforest bloatware. You have to add back the possibility to disable Notes.

Couldn't agree more...

Please give us the ability to disable this feature. Not everyone needs/wants this feature.

[markoste]

Please give us the option to disable this feature.
It's never used by any projects I work.... therefore it is bloatware for me.

[myssonv]

This is really vital, I just don't understand why Elemeentor would take away the option to hide the Notes feature. At the moment, am hiding the notes icon and label on the admin bar via CSS.

[robaxx]

Same as the AI garbage... We need a simple switch to get rid of it.

Remove the bindings. Thats the easier solution, there shouldn't be a shortcut for notes that conflicts with the most obvious shortcut for developers.

[yratof]

Even worse, it's only shift C that is used:

  /**
   * @return {Object} All the shortcuts of the component.
   */
  defaultShortcuts() {
    return {
      toggle: {
        keys: 'shift+c',
        exclude: ['input', 'textarea']
      }
    };
  }

+999. Really annoying

[bikrrr]

+1. Totally agree—this is really frustrating. I’ve moved away from Elementor for new sites, but I still have one that depends on it, and migrating would be a nightmare. 😞

[vgauther]

+1 - Should be done already

[vayurobins]

Agree, ability to completely disable Notes is important. It's frustrating that is there.

[blakemiller99]

+1 here.

At least give us the ability to remove from the admin bar if we chose to enable / use notes. Many other plugins do this, such as Gravity Forms and Independent Analytics.

Let us disable that!

possible solution- add to functions.php for elementor pro... (ymmv)

add_action('wp_print_scripts', function (){
    wp_dequeue_script('elementor-pro-notes');
    wp_dequeue_script('elementor-pro-notes-app-initiator');
});

for non-pro possibly dequeue elementor-v2-editor-notes although seems to cause errors in the dev console...

also, looks like they changed the notes shortcut to just shift+c although mine was still activating with ctrl+shift+c:

[vayurobins]

This works, so thanks for this solution. The "Notes" menu item in the top admin bar is still visible though :-)

[jmzolezzi]

Having a decluttered UI and try to make Elementor is fast as possible, please allow us to disable Notes feature.

Why remove this option that was used by many to improve performance within the builder ?!
