Wish someone could make an plugin that allows merging of notes like you can do with citations. I imported a gedcom with several thousand notes and there are a lot of duplicates. Right now I’m using the isotammi multimerge plugin but it’s real slow going.

I think you want something more akin to the [Media merge](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:MediaMerge) addon. Where the tool does a checksum comparison of the Media object (or, as you’re requesting, Note object) and automatically merges them if they are the same.
