Macro that creates a text box on play space?

Function Hit button Ask for text Add a text box on the play space

Can you explain what you looking for? I don't really get it

I want a macro that pops up a text box. I can type anything in that box. And it adds that content as a text box on the table, and preferably be able to set the font and color.  I need a quicker way to create Notes on the play space the current options for text boxes are too finicky. 

If those notes are to remind the GM (and the GM only) about specific events like 'there is a trap is this room' or 'the black bear shows up only if PC moves close to xxx...', you can use the drawing tool and add text on the GM layer . You can even choose the text color and size. Your players won't be able to see the notes, only the GM will. If you need a text box on the VTT in which players can type messages in once you invoked a macro, I'm almost certain this feature is not possible in Roll20 even with the API.

Very simple but effective. Create an invisible token or use something on the GM Layer as a Map Pin. In the bar3|max Paste in the text you want to display. Then Create a Simple Macro /desc @{selected|bar3|max} then Create another one like this /w gm @{selected|bar3|max} put both in your Macro Bar. Now when you want to display it to everyone Select the Token Map Pin and Hit the /desc Macro, if you want to just see it for yourself hit the other macro. This is very simple but effective. If you use Power Cards it's even better but not necessary. Note: can put these Map Pins all over your maps and pictures. The Text is going to Appear in the chat window. Real Map Pins is something everyone wants but we keep getting fluff instead.

No I want to be as big bright and visible to everyone as possible. That is the problem we are having right now, the text tool makes text that is always so hard to read. We want a quicker way. It would be awesome if there was some sort of quick and easy way to create a sticky note with a text field . 

There are ways to do this with the API, but other than draw out a text box and type, I don't know of any way to do this without it. If you can mess around with colors and fonts to get something readable, you can keep a tiny copy tucked into a corner or on the GM layer ready to move into view as needed.

That is how I have been doing it but, I can never click on text box after I create it. I have to select the entire area to select the text box, but that usually does not work since I randomly select other assets. 

Hold down the alt key while dragging a selection rectangle and it will constrain the selections to drawings (such as text boxes). Double clicking on a text box should put you into edit mode.
