Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm a student and use Notes app to write my assignments, and to submit them I need to have them as a file. Right now I have to either go into Files tab, find my Note and download it, or select all the text, open it in a text editor on my computer, paste it there, save and then upload.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would really prefer having a button I can just click/tap and it downloads a .txt or a .md file.

Additional context
Here is a concept of how the button would look:

Research direction

The issue names no implementation files or tests. Start by locating the note editor’s existing Files-tab download flow and the UI entry point for note actions; done means a note can be downloaded as both .txt and .md files. Check for existing tests covering this flow and update them if present.
