I'm using comments for notes to myself inside the projects, but I wish they were less obtrusive. I'd like to be able to specify a different icon instead of the large red push-pin. Or maybe add the comment icon to the show/hide for paragraph marks.
Also, the current "Insert Comment / Bookmark" dialog has a checkbox for "Show comment as icon only". Since I always check that box, I wish it would remember my choice the next time I open the dialog.
Also, when I use a temporary comment that I'll remove later, I wish I could right-click and select "Delete Comment" instead of the current 2-step method (convert to plain text, then delete that text).
Thanks
Jessica

Just left-click on the comment and then press the Delete key.

Clicking after a comment and typing double backspace will also work. I sometimes have difficulty selecting the comment itself and find the double backspace easier.
I agree 100% with the suggestion to have the Display as Icon checkbox remember the last setting. Either that or a preference I could set to default the box as checked. Or the ability to Tab into that checkbox from the comment text block (Shift-Tab, Ctrl-Tab or similar).

Sometimes the easiest way to preserve your preferred settings is by copy and paste. Just click the previous comment you entered, Ctrl-C, go to where you want another one, Ctrl-V. Double click on it to edit the text -- and the tickbox is already ticked.
This method works equally well with lots of features in H&M and avoids the need to remember so many shortcuts.
