Private Notes layer in eeschema

Schematic
1

I realize that eeschema currently doesn’t have “layers” at all per se, but a feature I’d really like to see would be a “private notes” layer where I could write notes to myself scattered around the schematic to remind me of issues that need to be dealt with, special considerations, etc. I can do it now, of course, with text objects, but I’d like notes to be in a different color from other text, and I’d like to be able to hide them all with a click when exporting for distribution to clients etc.

Does anyone know if this has been requested or is in the works? Another workaround is to annotate a PDF of the schematic, but this is suboptimal because the PDF becomes obsolete with any change to the KiCad schematic and then the notes don’t get carried over to the next PDF.

On github there used to be a bunch of topics under a title like “feature requests”, but I can’t find an equivalent on that for Gitlab right now. That is the place you should look for.

Personally I would like for tables to be implemented in the text fields. For example making a small table with resistance values and output voltages for a LM317. Doing this with tabs is *&^%$#@ My current workaround for that is to use multiple text fields, each represents a column.
