GNOTE(1) GNOME User's Manuals GNOTE(1)NAMEgnote - A simple note-taking application for Gnome
SYNOPSISgnote [OPTION] ...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the gnote command.
Gnote is a desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple
and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas and
information you deal with every day.
Gnote's usefulness lies in the ability to relate notes and ideas
together, using a WikiWiki-like linking system.
When run without any options, either a Search All Notes window or the
Gnote note menu appears in the notification tray area depending on con‐
figuration. Selecting a note from a list in Search All Notes or from
the menu from notification area displays the note's spatial window.
Changes to notes are saved automatically. Links to URLs, files, and
other notes are detected as you type. Rich editing such as highlight‐
ing, bold, italics, undo/redo, and variable font sizes are supported.
Global keybindings exist to allow fast access to Gnote notes and
dialogs. These keybindings are set in GSettings (see below) and may be
activated from any application.
