Simple text editor with basic formatting in a single HTML page

Notepad

Loosely based upon Taq Karim's TabNotes.

I've expanded it and it now uses localStorage instead of copy/paste, though with that it no longer runs through the data:text/html, URI. When installed as a chrome extension, it can take advantage of Google Chrome's sync service, so your data will be synced between devices and browsers.

Commands

• /reset (or /clear): Clears the notepad and storage
• /print: Removes the /print from the notepad and opens the print dialog (doesn't work in Chrome extension mode)
• /save: Removes the /save from the notepad and saves the raw HTML document you've typed. (doesn't work in Chrome extension mode)
• /settings: Takes you to the settings page in a new tab

Shortcuts

• CTRL+b toggles bold text
• CTRL+i toggles italic text
• CTRL+u toggles underlined text
• CTRL+p opens the print dialog so you can save it as a PDF or print to a physical printer
• CTRL+s saves the document to your hard drive (doesn't work in Chrome extension mode)
• CTRL+z undos the last action
• CTRL+x cuts text
• CTRL+y redos the last action
• CTRL+a selects all text
• CTRL+f finds text
• CTRL++ zooms in
• CTRL+- zooms out
• CTRL+0 resets zoom

Thanks mottaquikarim for the inspiration and boilerplate.
